I have a small box of letters that were written to me by friends when my family moved from Chicago to the suburbs in the mid-1970s. The writing exchange happened for several years (it was too expensive to make LONG-distance calls!) I also have love letters from a guy I dated in college. I just can't bare to part with any of them!

Love it! I have a box of letters from college pen pals that I cherish. I too couldn’t afford long-distance calls so I wrote to friends and friends-of-friends throughout college. One of my pen pals quickly became one of my favorite people in the world. He’s my chosen “auntie” and taught me more about living loudly and proudly than anyone I’ve ever met. And thankfully his crazy ass is still alive and kicking! :-) Keep those letters, Dan. They’re worth more than gold. Cheers!

Absolutely! I only wonder who will be interested in them when we are long gone.
Ephemera collectors at the worst. Trusted friends and family at the best. :-)
