Ask Amy: Readers respond to saving old letters

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

I hope “Upset’s” mother will save those letters.

— Still Sad Son, Alexandria, Virginia

Dear Amy: When my mom died last year, I found two letters she had written to my dad, when he was on an aircraft carrier off the coast of Vietnam in 1967.

I was a baby, not yet walking at the time. Those letters gave me a glimpse into her life over 50 years before, and I found them to be a great treasure. Save the letters!

— J. English
