Dear Sybil & Charlie

It’s been a busy year. Our daughter’s husband passed away in May, so she’s moved in with us. We had 2 garage sales & need another. In Oct we took a mo. Vacation, to Fl to visit all our relatives & got to 3 class reunions, Eds 64th my 60th-so great to see friends. Then we went to Mesa AZ to a great grandsons birthday, then back to Tucson. Thanksgiving a great grandson’s little league tournament. Now Jan & I are going to Fl so she can visit her cousins and Xmas we’re staying home, I hope. Seems like all we do is go to Drs & dentists. Nothing serious yet.

Happy Holidays.

Love,
Dot and Ed

Nastygram to the Dentist - 6 June 2009

Dear Dr Huigens,

I told you if you ever received a "nastygram" from me, you would know it.  Today is the day.  I received the enclosed "bill" from your office on Friday.  I suspect this was not your idea, but communications from your office under your name should be known and approved by you.

My husband has been deceased (note the spelling) for two years and I have been paying my bills myself.  There is no earthly reason you should send a bill to a deceased person.

I paid the bill on the day I received the work - cleaning, x-rays and dental appt.  I suggest you provide the office with a dictionary as I feel spelling is a very important part of a letter.  In the future, my bills should be addressed to me: Sibyl G Beaumont.

Sincerely,

Sibyl G. Beaumont

Don’t remember your hospital “date,” Sibyl, but want you to know we’re thinking of you and wishing for a quick recovery. We are enjoying London, but are freezing to death! Do take care of yourself (You too, Charlie)

Nero – 19 May 1980

May 19 London

Couldn’t find the usual type of card yesterday at the museum but this one did remind us of our mutual “friend,” now your “boss,” Charlie. Hope the new arrangement is going great. We had a good trip to here and are enjoying nice warm weather.

Love,

Peg and Kit

My Dearest,

This is the first chance I’ve had to write. I called the Stueby’s when I got in Sunday and immediately was invited out there last nite. We had dinner and talked to midnite, so was pretty bushed when I got home.
The flight down was fine to New Orleans and lousy from then on. Had a DC-7 up til then but ended up in a DC-3 and puddle-jumped our way across Miss and Ala. It was hot and rough. Went to bed about 5:00pm and slept til 6:00am yesterday.
The school has been dull and repetitious up to now but starts on the new stuff (to me, that is) tomorrow. The last three days should be pretty good.
Heat and humidity here are terrible. Can hardly get my breath and am sweating constantly. It’s miserable!
How are you and Jimmy? Take things real easy til I get home and I’ll to them for you.

Am due in Denver as follows:
Eastern 570 to Birmingham Sat 26th
Eastern/Brain (sp?) 902 to Denver
Arriving 8:05pm

Miss you all like mad – thank heaven its only a few more days to go.

Can’t write anymore – am soaking the paper with perspiration. Will turn out the light and just swelter.

Be careful of yourself – miss you and love you real much, honey.

See you Sat nite.

All my love
Hubby

Trooping the Color – 1 Nov 1978

Hi All,

So far the trip is even more than we had expected. Walking through history that precedes written history. Just pick your century AD or BC. London keeps the pageantry going and the people are as generous as the prices are high. Given half a chance I might stay. Love High Tea – J

Love Joyce and Howard

Lincoln Memorial – 21 Apr 1971

Dear Jimbo

That was quite a program your school gave. I am so glad you enjoy music enough to stay with the band and hope your German instructor sees the light before the final grades come out. Good luck.

Love from

Nena and Mumu
