Family letters: October–December 1976
I’ve fallen way behind again on linking from here to old family letters. Here are the letters from the rest of 1976:
- October 12, 1976
- A brief update from Marcy.
- “hoping you’re all survived from your multitudinous surgeries, Grandpa, and thoroughly enjoying your leisure.”
- October 27, 1976
- A postcard from Peter, wishing George and Helen a happy anniversary.
- November(?), 1976
- A note from Marcy on the occasion of George and Helen preparing to head off on a trip to Hawaiʻi.
- “Peter was overjoyed to get his maroon pants back, and wore them for four days running. No, the days were running, he was mostly driving.”
- December 8, 1976
- Peter explains more or less what he meant when he referred to himself as a “Scuffler” in a previous note.
- “my connotations include images of scruffiness (scuffedness), of being somewhat worn around the edges; tattered or shabby; but yet still vigorous and resolute.”
