April 1st & 2nd 1942
Although these aren't specifically letters to George, I wanted to share a few of the Easter cards that George Lutz received in 1942. It is amazing to see that the greeting card world hasn't really changed much in all of these years! Contained in two envelopes, the card from grace and her family the Bauers, arrived in a single envelope, and the card from his parents arrived separately. Interestingly enough, there isn't much personalization with each card, as I suppose they left the creativeness to writing their letters back and forth.
As a side note when it comes to cards, my Grandfather George, was very sentimental when it came to selecting the right card for folks. I can remember quite a few times going to the drug store with him as a kid, and we would stop in to grab a card for someone for a holiday, then head out to Wendy's for some chili. I can certainly recall this was always quite a process, and it always seemed to take forever! He often times would look at so many cards you just wanted to yell "Pick one and let's go!". I'm curious to know if receiving cards while he was in the Army shaped this behavior.
