I have a keen interest in genealogy, probably because my Mother and Grandmother Wolfe kept all kinds of family records and fascinating stories.  Thirty years ago, I started researching my family tree, and today online databases and DNA testing continue to help it grow.  I compiled this book to share the documentation, photographs, and stories that I collected.

My in-laws, Bob and Louise, met while he was on leave in Cleveland and they started writing back and forth almost every day for about a year and a half.  Louise had saved hundreds of her letters from Bob and some of them are in this book.  These letters were hand-picked because they told the story of their budding relationship and army life during World War II. 

Family photographs and the family genealogies were added to the book along with some historical photographs from the era to help tell their love story.  If you would like to review or purchase a book, please send me an email at  [email protected],  and I will provide the link.
