It's interesting what I find in envelops that are thicker than the usual letter. My grandmother kept everything and now I'm thankful she did. I'm just sadden to know that in 1963 my grandfather had a stroke and his memory at times was off. He was a wonderful grandfather but seemed lost at times. He later died in 1967, and I remember coming back for his funeral.
Even though Archie and Irving were not raised in the same household, they were close. I think at times my grandmother kept them apart. She didn't want my grandfather to go back to Kansas or to be near his brother. At least they kept in contact.
