Your Pal, Merle: Letters from World War II

From the Editor: My grandpa Merle and his friend Jr. knew each other as children, and had a friendship that lasted more than seventy years. They wrote to each other throughout World War II; this book contains my grandpa’s side of the conversation. Some letters to Jr.’s sister Margie are also included. When Grandpa showed my family these letters, we read through them in one sitting, laughing and knowing they were a treasure of his past. My hope is that you find them as enjoyable as we do. Your Pal, Jansina (Granddaughter of the Author)
