Hidden Treasure

In a dark closet for the last several years, an old Saltine Cracker tin has laid quietly waiting to reveal it's wealth. Within it's walls were several small reel to reel tapes of Steve's family and their communication with his Dad during his tours in Vietnam. (1968-69 and 1972-'73)

This year Steve was was finally able to find someone in Arizona that was willing to convert these 40+ year old tapes to CD's.

For Christmas Steve was able to present one set to each of our kids, his Mom and his siblings. A very precious and priceless gift. It was precious to see each face as they realized what they had.

A sweet familiar and missed voice of Dad. The voices of Mom B, and each child as they spoke their message to their Dad, thousands of miles away. Familiar but distant voices of the past as they were teenagers on down to little children. Discussions of meeting up in Hawaii for R&R and of finances, life concerns, parenting while separated from family and life as a soldier in Vietnam.

Very precious...
