I have been reading old letters home from my dad from the service and college, from the 40's to early 50's. One of my dad's dearest friends features prominently in the letters, and there is talk about things they did and the fun they had, all the way from the service to when they were married and had kids. I remember playing with the kids when we would visit Savannah to see my grandparents.
I remembered the name of one of the daughters who was around my age. I found an obituary for Dad's friend, who died about ten years ago. Since then, his daughter lost her brother, husband, and own daughter.
Do you think this woman (the daughter) would want copies of these letters about her parents when they were young? I'm sure she does not remember me, but I remember her family, and I remember playing with her, and her dad taking us to the swimming pool on the day of my granddad's funeral. He was such a nice man.
Would it be totally weird to contact her if I can find an address, and ask?
