Me too. I learned he'd been sending them, but not to me because "we see you all the time." (I was living in Mpls at the time.) I was furious and let him have it. Was on his list forever after.

I always looked forward to Uncle Dick's holiday newsletters. I miss them.

Thanks for sharing this delightful essay, Annie! I loved your dad stories as well as the song toward the end. Missing you, Kathryn

I'm glad! I'd not heard her sing it, just Seeger. What a treat. Hope you're well.

It was quite popular in the seventies when it came out. Didn't she have a lovely smile?

I'm fairly well, thank you, and working on it. How about you?
