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
Enjoyed reading your last letter received Feb. 6. With our library some say their problem is that they have no overall plans for the future. Don't think Ann Lesser was that good a lib. director - she just let things go along - altho there was the addition ion her time. Nothing has been said about a successor.
When Taury sees Dale in his work uniform, he barks at him & will have nothing to do with him. It's so funny. Tonite the 7th Lar & some of the "guys" are going to a soccer game in Buffalo so Kim will be coming over here. The game will be in the new arena & it looks like a beautiful place - from the Buffalo paper. He can tell us all about it.
Barb has had a heavy flow again & cramps for a couple of days. So she saw the Dr again ready to have an operation. But they are trying something else first. Today she will get a birth control shot that should stop her periods. I hope it will help.
Did you know Charles Cataldo? He was 46 - his death notice is in today's paper.
It's breakfast time & Dale has gone to work & Dad should be down anytime. So I'll sign off & wish you a romantic Valentine!
