This book is about letters from home. From my mum, Nan and Pa Romviel and Nan and Pa Mayberry. In 1985, before the internet, mobile phones and most other modern technology we use today, there was always one technology around. This was the pen. In 1985 when I left Canberra at the age of 17, I had just joined the Navy and not wanting to spend all my money calling home on the phone, I took to using my Parker pen, a writing pad, some envelopes, and a few stamps to pen out a letter home every two days. Anyway, with all these letters going out, mostly my relatives were writing back. These are their letters. Letters from home.
