this is a scan of an actual western union christmas telegram that my grandpa sent my grandma while he was stationed in the aleution islands during wwii. he was gone for over two years, and they married when he returned home to chicago.
(note the typo of my grandpa's name, bon instead of bob:)
and check out the write up on them in the chicago herald, i think it sums up my grandpa's personality well...
(they gave me these items shortly before he died in 2003. if you have the opportunity, i strongly encourage you to ask your grandparents about their love story!)
