Dear Folks,
Hello again. Just got back from a weekend spent in Hartford. Had a very nice time. Saw Vaughn Monroe. Nothing definite on the Christmas furlough yet. Weather is fine.
Love,
Ben
About Me
- Pfc Benjamin Kaplow
- In 1943 I was drafted into World War 11 right out of Madison High School, Rochester, NY. This is my story as told in the letters I wrote home. They’re all here, all 192 of them. Spend some time with me as I describe my experiences in basic training and then off to war. They were written in an attempt to help me feel close to my family and to let them know what was going on in my life. It’s the first time I was away from home and I have to confess that I was homesick. My folks were Esther and Jacob Kaplow. We were four children in this order: Arnette, Ruth, Bob, and myself.
Vaughn Monroe
Ben is hoping for his first furlough. He is at the University of Connecticut for A.S.T.P. Vaughn Monroe entertains in Hartford. Click on Ben name to listen to Vaughn Monroe singing “Sound Off” on the web site.
