Life Tracing WWII in Letters Home

I know many of you like American History like I do. This link is personal for me, because I know the family involved well. William McGraw was a City Councilman in Independence. He had three sons; Dan, who worked for the City, Mike, who is a Pulitzer Prize winning writer for the Kansas City Star, and Tim, who is one of my best friends from high school and now is a property manager and night house manager for the Freight and Salvage Music Venue in Berkeley, CA.

Before Tim's mom passed away, I used to go over and help her with computer problems. Tim lived in California and set up all her computer stuff (all Macs) and I'm a Mac guy, so she'd call me if she needed help. And she'd give me cookies and was just the nicest little old lady in the world.

The McGraws are exceptional people. I'm proud that they've been my neighbors and friends.
