Sunday Mar 15
Dear Shirley,
You go right ahead and preach – if that’s what you call it.
I was so glad & proud too to receive your letter. Too many of us take for
granted the rights and freedoms that our free flying flag guarantees us, the
people of this great country. Too many forget the spilled blood, the gut &
grit that gave us these rights. And too few realize that these rights could be
lost or taken from us. I am proud to be a distant relation to you and your
husband. You keep right on feeling the way you do – it is wonderful!
I too was privileged to have cub scouts & Clyde was
assistant Scout Master. Also had Blue Birds, Camp Fire Girls & etc,. Clyde
also worked with Little League for two years.
I have gotten discouraged in my research as it seems I am
wondering down roads that lead nowhere – but make in time.
Did you get a picture of the Weinland or Wienland crest when
you were in Germany? I have hunted the Paradena library on my day off – but cannot
find it nor any genealogical references to the spelling of Wineland that Parks
wife so kindly sent.
If I think I have information I will write. If you get some –
write – otherwise forget t. We are all so busy in the mad cap world of today. I
can’t help but wish I could live longer to see what changes that futre will
bring to our planet. When you think of the change – just since our Great
Grandmother & Grandfather John & Jane Wineland it is truly awesome.
Wava Nelson (Ira Wineland’s daughter) has never answered
myletter. I had a nice letter from Marvin & Esther Wineland – but they had
no information. They did send the picture of our Great Grandparents that I mentioned
in my last letter.
Love,
June
Note: Believe this letter was written ca 1966.
