1903
This man was brought into the world at the turn of this new century. So much was happening and on the cusp in this 20th Century. This young boy ended up being in the newspaper quite a bit while growing up into a young man. To make this easier, today is my Great-Grandpa Arla’s Birthday.…

American Pride Month
Pride is normally something that comes before a fall. Scripture is full of prideful men and women taking their own courses of action. Babylon comes to mind simply because my Church recently had a Vacation Bible School with the decorations vibrant like the city of Babylon would have been that seems a bit ironic right…

Walking Through History In Letters
Dates are always going off in my head. July 23, 1944 is one of those ‘days of infamy’ in my mind. So this year as usual dates of the letters come to mind when the dates circle round. Today Monday, 17, 2023 is on a Monday like it was in 1944 when Grandpa penciled two…

This is your life. Born July 13, 1906 in Greene Co.. Not a farmer’s daughter. Professional medical care was by Dr. Jackson, Pleasantville, Ind. at 25 cents per visit. Some of your education was in one and two room schools. You went to school in a wagon pulled by two horses. During this time your…

A Block Button
When I thought of this new category off the top of my head I hadn’t thought through the broad scope. My American Letters are the main idea covering Christmas Cards, Post Cards and Letters from Servicemen, and Text messages from one certain couple. The reason I created this topic will officially come in August, but…

For Such A Time: Patriots & Allies
Did you know a lot as a 10 year kid? Maybe there’s a difference in us being here and this particular 10 year old; since he was on another continent. Do you think you would have had as much comprehension if a superpower was in your country? Nasrat Ahmad Yar was only 31 years old.…
