| Dad, right, with 2 Army buddies |
In this letter Dad asks about his twin brother Eddie and Eddie's wife Marge, and older brother Jesse and Jesse's wife Bee. Vi (Violet) was their younger sister. Even simple things like a pack of cigarettes or a candy bar was a luxury for most soldiers, But Grandma and Grandpa Bolinger tried hard to send whatever they could to make life a little easier for their son Elwood (my dad). I'll include a photo of Bonnie (my mom) with Aunt Marge at the beach in 1944 and a photo of Dad and two of his army buddies. Dad is on the right. Uncle Eddie was serving in the United States Navy while Dad was in the army.
