Program Description:
In the 1980’s, Dr. Joy Michels learned that her father, Paul G. Michels, Sr. had all of the letters he wrote home during WWII and encouraged him to preserve them, which he did. Then, in 2019, she was able to retrieve them from their family home and started transcribing them. Today’s presentation is on the contents of those letters.
