The view of the lake from my front window is real fuzzy. This county has zero visibility according to all the weather reports. Believe me, I have seen worse ..one evening when the lake was cooling , chunky looking fog resembling mammoth grey Legos appeared to be rushing the shore.
I found a letter written from my older first cousin , Marge Anglin to my aunt Anna Rapp when they were both in their early 20s during second world war. May 14, 1943.
    
    Dearest Anna,
    Hello, how is everything with you, honey, hunky-dory I hope. I'm fine and rather busy.
    This is a little late, but , well "Congratulations!" (recently married to GI Jess Dillman from        Rochester, In. before he shipped over-seas.)  Be happy as you can, this war won't last long. 
    
     Jack and Bill (Anglin) both, are in the army. Jack is in Camp Mc Lain , Miss. and Bill is in 
    Fort Dix, N.J.  Jack has such a sweet baby, John Henry Jr.
    
    Why don't you come over sometime?  Phyl ( Knepper, Marge's best friend ),and I think of 
    you a lot. Mary (Phyl's sister, we know as Mary Lee), is home from college now. I think she is going to Chicago to work.
    
     Gee, Anna, you should see Kayo and Janny (that's me) They are sure growing up. You know how slow and easy Kayo and Janny are...PO asked them why they had to be so slow and Janny cutely replied "Cause, I'm just like my uncle Wayne." Have you heard from Wayne? Almost everyone in your class is in the Army. I don't know where they are.

    Well, Anna, be good and write when you can.      Love, Marge
