A letter to Howard

I've been thinking of posting something but I wasn't sure what. So I decided to post one of the old letters. This one was post marked Sept. 9, 1932.
So here it is:


Dear Howard;


I received your most welcome letter and I was glad to hear from you, how are you?
Gee it's been a long time since you have written to me, and I haven't answered you, you'll have to forgive me. I'm so busy working 10 hours a day, six days a week and when I get home I'm all tired out.And you enjoying yourself out in Ogema going to places such as parties or dances or any place where you could have fun. You know ever since I left Wisconsin I always dream of being there and when I wake I find myself here, isn't that awful?
I wish I could meet some real people, someday. Howard the only real people I've met is in Wisconsin.
Here boys and girls are all together different, they are mostly wild which I hate. So I wish I could go back to Wisconsin soon and get a job anywhere so I could make a living. Now you see I was planning to go out there but my Dad's layed off of work 2 weeks now I'm only  working in the family but it will change someday.
Now I'll close.
Answer soon.


Your true Friend,
Ann
1773 Polk St.
Gary Ind.


P.S. Please write me  a lot of news.


excuse my writing.


I did change some of the words because they either not spelled right or the sentence did not sound right.
Ann sent him about 23 letters.
If anyone is interested in me posting more of the letters more often just let me know. But I will warn you now some of these letters are hard to read because of the cursive. A few of them really like to make words very loopy. Allot of them are very informational and some are just normal day to day things that had to be done for housework.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
