I spoke to a group of senior citizens at the Gordon Methodist Church and during that experience I asked the people if they could write a paragraph or two about their memories of their youth. How things were, what they had or didn't have and how they lived.
I ended up getting a whole series of letters from people who are mostly gone now but our lives have been enriched by some of their responses, in their own handwriting. Perry L. Day was 90 years young when he penned his response.

What a treasure to receive a letter such as this. I don't know if you know this, but I'm on my town's Historical Preservation Commission. These moments of time past are so interesting, so captivating to my eyes.
Thank you for sharing it, Mr. Lincoln.
I am not on any group but did get some great information that I could pass along to our county society at the museum. Not sure if they are interested in this or not. Will have to check. I have a stack of letters to translate from longhand to computer fonts.
