July 2 to 7, 1942 We will take a short break from Snook’s memoir so that I can share another document related to his time in Basic Training. My background notes will precede the original text for a change in this entry, due to the length of the post.

Dearest Gee. Got your swell long letter of Sept. 4 yesterday and one from Mae + Erv of Sept 5. Hers was a v-mail but I was glad to get it. She said he had no idea of what he wanted to do yet but was anxious to do something. I know what I wantContinue reading “Saturday, September 15, 1945”

Dearest Gee. I got your swell number of Aug 26 today, kid, and a card from Sis. Twas one of those moron cards and pretty cute.

Dearest Gee. Didn’t get any letters from you yesterday but I got a v from Mae, a letter from Erv and a swell can of mixed nuts from Rita and Mrs. Fleshner.
