As I was searching for a lost earring behind the fireplace mantle in my bedroom with some really long computer-fixing-type tweezers, I retrieved a letter dated Nov. 6, 1943 on the letterhead of Miss Mary Belle S. Bailey Lancaster, Massachusetts. She was writing to "Billy," and with the letter I found correspondence from Billy written on the back of a Chapel Bulletin from the Army Air Base in McCook, Nebraska. So I'm thinking maybe Miss Mary Belle S. Baily lived in my house. I googled and found out that her family was prominent in town, that she became a music teacher, and that she was 72 when she wrote to Billy. Sometimes the Internet is SO cool.
