		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s early October of 1942. Dad is still at Norfolk, Virginia, processing the Navy Seabee recruits through their vaccination routines and other health matters. He doesn&#8217;t write to my future mom about the war, and seems to be completely detached from what is going on overseas. As he mentions in one of today&#8217;s letters, a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is October of 1942. War and baseball is in the air, and on the airwaves. The New York Yankees are on their way to losing their first World Series since 1926 to the St. Louis Cardinals, they had won all eight of them in between. As you will read, radios were scarce, and if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My Dad is starting to get his romantic legs, finally! I never saw him express himself the way he does in these letters, and as the days, weeks &#038; months pile up, his lonliness and his longing for his Anna Mae gets ever stronger. He&#8217;s even learned how to &#8220;turn a phrase&#8221;, &#8220;It is the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My Dad wasn&#8217;t a stranger to me and I always knew that he loved me very much. However, he was not the most open personality, at least to my interpretation, he always had a depth of patience that defied reason, until the bottom of the barrel was reached. Let me explain via three events, two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My Dad served the early part of his Navy tour of duty in Norfolk, Virginia during the late summer/early fall of 1942. Lots going on there, but he doesn&#8217;t mention anything, such as the battleship USS Alabama that was built in the Norfolk shipyard and was commissioned on that Aug. 16, so he probably didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This intro is going to be short and sweet, just like the five letters that are being presented. 
Dad&#8217;s getting ever more lonely and frustrated, even to the point of fantasizing about just walking away from base to go and see his honey, but he won&#8217;t do that. The lure of the bottle is still [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking of my Dad&#8217;s situation in late Summer of &#8216;42. Here he was, less than a year after the slaughter on Pearl Harbor, away from home, with world events spiraling out of control &#8212; death and devastation occurring on a scale previously unknown to mankind &#8212; and he is concerned about being homesick, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The day after Christmas, 2002, Mom, who was in cardiac critical care at Northwestern Hospital in Tulsa, shocked us all by refusing any further treatment for her congestive heart failure. It&#8217;s 5 am, and the nurse comes in to the CICU waiting room, where about 20 of us are sleeping, and tells me that Mom [...]]]></description>
