Angel Flying on the Ground: Letters of a Gentleman's Pursuit

On that hot July afternoon in 1939, I was playing a pinball machine in Hennicks when I looked up and saw a tall, blue-eyed, ash-blonde come up the steps. I did not know who she was, but I had to find out. I know that there is not supposed to be such a thing as love at first sight, but I was the exception to the rule...Fortunately or unfortunately, the same thing did not happen to her. Discover how one young gentleman pursues the only woman for him - a sophisticated, beautiful college-educated teacher. Against all odds, he wins her heart with endearing and hopeful words within 140 chivalrous letters. These heartfelt letters give a glimpse of how two lovers from a small town in Ohio came together, despite the world exploding into war around them.January 6, 1941- "I don't know why it is, but when things are right between us, there's a strange something that seems to hold us together. When it's there it shuts us off completely from everything else for awhile. Maybe it's just me though, I don't know. I'm looking forward to summer again, when we can be together, and when we can forget that we're schoolteachers and are just Evelyn and Dick, happy swimming, playing tennis, golfing - or sitting on your front porch in the moonlight looking for a couple of stars that belong to us. I hope the one star never fades. Well, sweetness, how can I ever get you to love me by mail?"
