by Bitsy Frink Willmott (Author)
This native Floridian author's Southern roots were firmly in place before her adult life whirled through eight states and twenty-six moves with her husband-a union lasting fifty-eight years. Graduating in 1955 from Stetson University in DeLand, Florida, she met and married her lover the same year. This memoir, Remnants, is their true love story. Included besides the text are fifty-three old-fashioned love letters (109 pages) written in two summertime months alongside dating. The memoir is written for their son and three daughters. The romance in their heartfelt letters is a vanishing treasure in this era of electronic expression.
