How beautiful a love story! I wish I had such memories… my mom was from South Carolina, dad was a yankee from Brooklyn met while stationed in SC at an army base before WWII.
Yes… dating and marrying was clearly a different thing then. I love all stories of Appalachian area, my grandma’s family were hillbillies in a log cabin somewhere there. I have little snippets but nothing concrete about any of my family.

Oh, their story sounds fascinating! My grandparents grew up close to each other in the hills of eastern Kentucky.

That makes me happy to hear you enjoy this kind of stuff! I have hundreds of letters - this project will keep me busy for years 😀
