In January of 2024, I received an inquiry from Alana Thibault regarding a letter found in her grandfather’s effects (Dennis Thibault). It was a letter from Lindsay V. Fletcher to his parents, and it was written just months before he was killed in WWII (March 29, 1943). They have no idea how, or why, it was with her grandfather’s effects. Alana was wondering if there were any family members of Lindsay’s who would like the letter. If this letter is part of your family history and you would be interested in receiving it, please contact me and I will put you in touch with Alana Thibault . Thank you Alana for sharing this!
