The book was wonderfully written and I had a hard time putting the book down as I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen next. I look forward to Kathleen's next book and hope there will be more of Jeanie and Family. Thank you Kathleen for such a interesting and wonderful book.

I'm sure those letters would be incredible to have today. There's something so ordinary about letters at the time and probably even for decades, then suddenly you realize, with distance just how full of life and love they are! What's so interesting to me is that Jeanie's letters survived--Frank kept hers...I can only imagine what she did to his! I can't wait to hear what you think of the book...coming soon! Michele,

WTF! Wow! I am with you...I get so pissed if I have to write a note or something! I am so used to typing away. Not really enjoying the words like Jeannie did. She expressed her love with those letters. Maybe for my 10 year anniversary, I will write Kevin a letter (and enjoy the experience!). What a gift to give someone you love. Great post!

When I was a senior in hs, my boyfriend was a freshman in college. We wrote to each other literally every day. When I came home from school, my mother had that day's letter placed prominently on the middle of the stove for me. On Mondays, there would be two letters, since there was no mail delivery on Sunday. I have few regrets in my life, but one is that I did not save those letters past college, when we broke up. How I would love giving them to my daughter. You are so lucky to have these.

Why yes, there was… by Lisa Consiglio Ryan http://kshoop.com/2011/03/15/facebook-in-1882-why-yes-there-was/#comment-2317 Lisa Consiglio Ryan Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:42:45 +0000 http://kathieshoop.bigbigweb.com/?p=757#comment-2317 You got a point. I guess things never change. Kevin isn't on Facebook so Thank goodness! He won't see pics of me and cute boys (just kidding!). As women we want to feel desired and honored. Those little jabs are in all of us...whether we use Facebook or snail mail. Great post! You got a point. I guess things never change. Kevin isn’t on Facebook so Thank goodness!

LOVE your site! AND the letter...all I can say is WOW. "Goodbye and accept your Jeanie's love." By reading the letter your posted, I just can't believe all they had to think of in those days and how Jeanie actually put her feelings, thoughts on paper puts a romantic spin on things. I don't even think I wrote Kevin a letter (except a quick text or email) in about 10 years! But that was the only way of communication in those days, and being a woman was also so extremely different than now. I can't, can't wait to read the Last Letter!
