My youngest brother sent me a letter that still makes me all teary when I read it.
He was just eight at the time. He talks about his fish – a gold fish he won at the county fair in a carnival game.
And he mentions his foot – we grew up on a farm and he steeped on a rusty nail or something so he had to get tetanus shots. Which was a big deal because he got out of doing his farm chores, thus the "running around when he wasn’t supposed to."
The pennies and Scotch tape were the finishing touch that have made me treasure this letter for three decades!
