Valentine’s Day 1968
In between all the letters from family there were other letters as well. There were two around Valentine’s Day 1968 that were from two of Larry’s friends from high school, we’re assuming. They both included a goofy card and one also included a letter. We thought they were interesting enough to include on the website. (click an image to view more detail)

Hi Larry,
How is everything? I didn’t write to you in about 2 weeks, so I thought I would take time out and write to you. Friday we got our pictures taken in school. I wasn’t wearing my glasses because Anna Maria Case said it hurts your eyes. She didn’t wear hers. I will send you a picture of me when I get them. That same day, I was walking in school because it was snowing outside and we were playing [inside]. I saw Carol walking to lunch, and she talked to me and asked me how I smiled. I showed her. Friday in school, Mr. Strittmatter said we would have a Valentine’s party. He said to get a Valentine’s card. Teena P—– is going to make a box for the girls to put their cards in, and James P—– is going to make a box for the boys to put their cards in. Then we will pick and see which card we will get. Mommy is going to make some cupcakes. We will have the party next Wednesday. Carol isn’t going to get braces.
HAPPY Valentines Day!
Your sister,
Ellie Maes
