Edward J. Thomas - World War II

Dear Issy & mac, (Sun. Aug 8, 1943)

How is your bowling going? In Sharon, PA they close in the summer. In Detroit, even if it’s hot at least you can still bowl. When I get back to Detroit I think it will be the first thing I do, even before tasting a highball or a bottle of Strohs.

How is National Automotive Fibers treating you? Are you busy? Are you doing the same jobs. I suppose Lt. Russ McCoy has written you since he left the state. I would possibly bump into him and have to salute. If you know Russ’ address let me know.
Bye-Bye Ed (Gives Issy & Mac his new address)

Thanks WBRW TV ~ Washington, Michigan for interviewing me August 14, 2019. As mentioned in my video there are resources you can download, including this army pamphlet of games that soldiers could play.

Thanks WTXL Channel 27 ~ ABC Tallahassee, Florida for including my dad's cousin's Leonard Tomaszewski's D-Day account. If you want to hear more and read his story, start here: D-Day.

This website started as a living story of my uncle's service in World War II. I found some 200 plus letters in my late uncle's office he used to run his business after the war, and during his retirement. It was in 2008 that I asked my father (deceased last November 2011) if I could have the letters and look at. In the last eleven years I have painstakingly read, organized and put up this website, that I am proud of.
