Dear Sis -
How are you making it in Bicknell? I am just fine as usual. I thought I would write you a letter as I know your worry the same as Mom does.
I can't think of much to write about. I have started receiving your Vmail letters. But the airmail letters are much better. You were wondering about whether or not I got to see any movies. Well, I got to see one the other day. I got a pass and went to town. It was an old picture but I enjoyed it.
You said you were going to have Mom's picture made and send one to me and wish you world. As she is the only one I haven't got a picture of.
I would like to know how Bicknell came out in that football game with Washington. You were wondering who I was going to root for and would sure like Bicknell to win. And I sure hope they do better in basketball.
You ask if I wanted Gerald McGee's address and I would like to have it and try to get Bob N too. I might get a chance to see one of them some time over here. Well, I had better close for now and will be looking for more mail. Will write you again as soon as I can.
Love "Bert"
This is a story about my Dad, Bruce Dodson. He never would talk much about his time during World War II. Now that he and my Mom have passed, and being their only child, I have had the opportunity to go through all of their mementos. In doing so, I discovered a pile of letters that Dad wrote to his sister during his time in the service. Those letters, coupled with a search of WWII history are the focus of this blog.
