There is a magic to the act of putting pen to paper and writing down one's thoughts and wishes.
Writing a letter.
You can save that letter. And no matter when you open the letter, there you are - right in the moment with the emotions of that moment - connecting with the person to whom you were writing.
That magic certainly touched a Niles man recently.
Bob Rodgers.
The postmaster of New Carlisle Indiana knocked on Bob's door, and handed the 79-year-old man a very special letter.
It was a letter Rodgers had written on June 13, 1953 to his wife Jean. He was at Fort Campbell, Kentucky in basic training with the Army's 503rd Airborne Infantry.
