Note:
On May 27, 1945, Marilyn (Isaacson) Simonds, age 17, wrote a letter to her brother Philip, who was serving with the Navy in the Pacific Theater. Her letter from Lewiston, where “it’s just as dead as it can be,” was filled with tidbits of news about family as well as friends and contemporaries headed off to war.
