Written by Wiley Benjamin Hill, Jr. to his brother, Earl Rudolph Hill, 19 Dec 1977:
[Partial extract of information; not verbatim...These are carbon copies, not the actual originals]
Address at this time is Middleton, Colorado
Dear Rachel, Rudy, and [Living], [Rachel is Rudolph's, aka "Rudy"] wife.
WBH, Jr. writes that he wants them to know that he cares about them and is having a difficult period where procrastination has been the rule of his days. He mentions that he has just filed his income tax returns for the last several years. He states that "the fire added to my delay and my many excuses".
Not sure if this letter was ever sent but thought it useful for the one or two historically interesting bits of info it gave.
The spirit of exploring and celebrating where we came from is the work of genealogists. My Dad, "Bennie" Hill, was the quintessential family historian. He caught the bug later in life but spent the next 33 years making up for lost time. Thanks to you, Dad, I'm hooked!
