Scanning probably would not produce a very clear copy of some of the faded, though legible, material.<br /><br />Pearl, they were wonderful people and great parents, and I am lucky! Thank you. Happy weekend to you, too.<br /><br />Chuck, thank you. I have always believed that the love of God shone from the faces of both my parents.<br /><br />Grace, I agree with you that a smile tells a lot about a person. It was a whirlwind romance. Must have been love at first sight.

Great love story. You are blessed to ...Hi Vanilla,<br /><br />Great love story. You are blessed to have such parents.<br /><br />Be sure to preserve those letters. It might be a good idea to transcribe them for publication, or scan them into a computer and post them on-line so they can touch a larger audience of readers. Such a heritage can get lost so easily.<br /><br />P.S.: I posted a sort of Christmas home movie my youngest son made on my blog this morning. You might get a kick out of it.<br /><br />JohnJohn Cowarthttp://www.cowart.info/blog/noreply@blogger.com
