My parents, Ted and Julia, were a part of what has been called the "Greatest Generation". They were born in the early 1920's on farms in the Midwest and by the time they were ten the country was deep in the Great Depression which lasted until they were nearly out of their teens. On March 15, 1942, while the Second World War raged in Europe, Ted and Julia met on a date in Cedar Rapids. Six months later they were engaged, and thirty days after that Ted was inducted into the Navy and assigned to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station near Chicago. On August 8, 1943, before he was assigned to the destroyer U.S.S. Gatling to serve in the Pacific Theater, they married in Independence, Iowa. After the war and a brief stint at farming, their small family moved to 1006 42nd Street in Cedar Rapids where they raised "six children - four biological and two adopted". This volume collects letters, photographs, documents, stories and other artifacts from their lives and the lives of their parents and grandparents.
