The Letter Men: Forty Years of Brotherhood
The Letter Men: Forty Years of Brotherhood documents the story of nine men who, over some pitchers of beer, decided in 1977 upon graduating from college to correspond with one another every six months. Forty years and some 630 letters later, that commitment continues. Their distinctive and unique lives are captured in these letters with life experiences unimaginable as college seniors. It was their initial bond of brotherhood in the fraternity that held them together. However today, although physically miles apart, their friendship, respect, and love for one another has grown only closer and deeper.
The letters now all re-read. The stories surrounding the letters all meaningful. The manuscript complete. Editing is a long, but necessary, process in the journey. I desire to share the story with the literary world to garner opinions and thoughts.
Publication date: late October 2019.
