This book is a collection of letters and correspondence that my parents exchanged in their 50 year love story. They were separated initially by about 1,000 miles when the Navy brought them together. They exchanged letters for 3 years until they got married. However, their separations continued as my dad was at sea half the year. This is why their correspondence continued. Even after my dad got shore duty and other land jobs, they continued their loving correspondence by way of notes in cards, inscriptions in books and love notes left. They were totally devoted to each other and their love never waivered. They always were faithful to each other. They always held hands when they were together, even on the day my mom passed. Their correspondence in writing, audio tapes and photographs is a remarkable archive and validation of their love story: A Cold War Love Story.
