I recently unearthed these recordings that my newlywed parents exchanged when my Dad was in the army. Soon after they were married, my Dad was drafted and was in Korea in 1954 when my older sister was born.
To hear my grandmother’s voice, with her unforgettable German accent, brought tears to my eyes. She always got so emotional! As a boy, all I had to do was take out my violin and play a few scratchy notes, and she would be weeping uncontrollably. In her eyes, I could do no wrong, and she was always my best fan.
My Dad died several years ago with Alzheimers disease. I still think about him daily.
