Brenda and I got married in June 1972. I left in September for 7 months on a US Navy Guided Missile Destroyer. Each day we wrote each other letters. BUT, in those days we actually wrote, I mean really wrote, with real paper and real ink.
Each time we pulled into a port, we’d mail our letters, and collect the letters for the ship.
Right before I got off the ship to start Flight Officer School, I sent her a telegram. No really, a short, to-the-point, expensive, real telegram.
My, how communications have changed!
We have SKYPED all five of our kids, plus our two grandkids, plus a few other folks. We email constantly and we even have this blog.
My, how communications have changed.
Were we still typing papers, I would have likely left the world of research years ago.

“Computers have lots of memory but no imagination.” ~Author Unknown
And one I’ve used before:
