1944 Graduation, Naval Academy
Ivor graduated from the Naval Academy in 1944 ... there was much correspondence between Ivor and Mildred during this time. It must have been hard for them to be separated.
Aaaaaw...how cool is that?! I'm so glad you have documented and kept these pieces of their lives. I would have loved to have met these two, even their names are wonderful--Ivor and Mildred. Like from a book.
I agree with Stars, This program is totally fascinating!
I save cards and letters ... I have boxes full of them. Most of the older cards I have were rescued from a dumpster several years ago, and have been in storage ever since. Others I find at the Goodwill Surplus store nearby (where I buy them by the pound, so they are nearly free).
It is time to liberate these treasures and share them with the world! I am especially interested in cards that have a personal touch, so I will include any and all writings that make these cards so fun. Many are still in their original envelopes, and I will include these as well, since they also tell their own stories.
Thank You
Thank you Marge, for this award. You warm my heart and soul.
As life changes, I find myself far from what my dreams had imagined. Reality has found me caring for my elderly mom who is sliding deeper into Alzheimers ... every day has become a unique challenge. The best I can do is to try to life as normal as possible for those around me.
From the looks of the program, it must have been a grand event!
