Ross makes his first of many appeals for his kin to send news. He'll gather it, type it, copy it and send it, but he begins to voice his frustration with obtaining news from family members. This at a time when letters had to be written, stuffed in an envelope and sent via the US Postal Service. Imagine! Yet somehow, he always manages to get his message across in a humorous and caring way. But he prods!
Nevertheless, there is news:
- The Postiers welcomed a new arrival
- The Mulherins spent a week in Livingston Manor
- Elaine Regan had a special visit
- Vera and Roy Johnston did some traveling (and Vera included a very newsy letter)
- Tom Regan's family visited Swago
- Young Jim Farrell had surgery
And quite a bit more, too! In fact, Ross makes this a 7 page edition. Also included:
- a fascinating and informative letter from Peter F Regan III, and Ross' response to said letter.
- the first part of his mini-memoir regarding Regan family life in upper Manhattan during the early years of the 20th century.
As always, this makes for interesting reading. I hope you are inspired to take a look and be sure to comment and add your own memories or corrections.
