Letters from Mom (A Retiring Guy Blog)

Until July 2010, when her eyesight deteriorated, my mother wrote 1000s of chatty letters during her lifetime - to her parents, in-laws, sisters, children, friends. Tho she started to write to me on a regular basis in Sept '68 when I began my freshman year at SUNY-Buffalo, it wasn't until 10 years later that I decided to hold onto them. (Very inconsistently at first, to which the big gaps between dates attest.) These are the letters transcribed, annotated, and otherwise highlighted here.

Friday, February 7, 1997 (Letter to Andy)

Your Dad tells us about your basketball games. We are happy you like sports. Soon there will be baseball spring practice and pre-season games. We look forward to watching baseball on T.V.

Nascar racing starts this weekend and Uncle Dale will be watching his favorite racer. Dale Earnhardt - number 3 car. It's good we have more than one T.V.

Aunt Barbara bring Scott over here and he always wants a cooky. He likes my cookies just like y ou and Eddie do. We also have to put teh M&M candy out or reach. Otherwise he wants some. His mother says no candy.
