About Grandpa Wessman's Letter

As previously mentioned, I sent Grandma Beverly and Grandpa John Wessman a list of questions as part of a AA History/English project in 10th grade. Grandma hand wrote seven pages plus a cover letter. Grandpa Wessman typed up 10 pages to answer my questions. He included the questions in his report, so his letter is a little more formal than Grandma's.

With the questions outlined, you can see where Grandma got her topics from: she wasn't just writing random things that we might find interesting. The letters are not life sketches, so a lot of things are missing that would be included in a history.

In typing up these letters, I have been reminded of things that I had forgotton about my grandparents, and learned new things about them. I must have read these letters when I got them 20 years ago, since I had to write a report on them, but I was only 16.

I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did!
