We digitized the collection two years ago and a current project is preparing transcripts of all the letters. The eventual goal is to make some or all of these materials available on the web. There is no timeline for that yet as a retooling of the organization's web efforts must be completed before that can occur.<BR/><BR/>Ron Twellman, Curator of Collectionstellurianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07866444828241586821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30426061.post-61067695364113884262007-06-13T11:33:00.000+10:002007-06-13T11:33:00.000+10:00Rarey's last letter: June 21, 1944.

(KIA June 26, 1944)<BR/>Every night I crawl into my little sack and light up the last cigarette of the day and there in the dark with the wind whippin' around the tent flaps I think of you - of your hair and eyes and pretty face - of your lovely young body - of your warmth and sweetness. It isn't in the spirit of frustration but of fulfillment. I've known these things and knowing them and having them once, I have them forever. That wonderful look in your eyes when we'd meet after being apart for a few hours - or a few weeks - always the same - full of love. Ah, Betty Lou, you're the perfect girl for me - I love ya', Mama!tellurianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07866444828241586821noreply@blogger.com
