My biggest disappointment is my ancestors didn't save letters. I have a few letters written by my ggrandfather to his parents from the Oregon Territory, and one written back to him from his parents in Wisc, but even those are photo copies. Despite the fact my father was away serving in the military during the Korean War, I don't have one letter he or my mother wrote to one another. They fought like cats and dogs when he was home, so I suspect my mother burned them after one of their many arguments. I do have the Western Union telegram telling of me and my brother's birth that was sent to him in Tokyo, but other than that, there is nothing.

I have some material things that were own by those who came before I....but the things I most cherish are the letters they wrote....with those, I feel that they actually touch me when I read them....
