Lake Worth, Fla., February 17, 1942
Dear Irene:
I am a lovely shade of pink today- just mild case of sunburn. No matter how careful I am, I manage to resemble a well-cooked lobster. I was going to write before, but I couldn’t because I didn’t get sunburned until today. We’re still enjoying every minute here.
Love- Ubendeer?
Mr. and Mrs. D.W. Miller
141 Goldsboro Pl. N.E.
Grand Rapids, Michigan
This is on the top of the list for the lamest excuse for not writing. I didn’t get sunburned, no obviously I couldn’t write. I can only put pen to paper unless I am going through horrific agony with lasting and perhaps permanent damage to my skin. At least she's not "Great Balls of Fire" like Vicki was in yesterday's post.
By now, the Millers are probably horrified that the unforgiving sun is charring and disfiguring their friends in Florida. Since Miller is a common surname, and Grand Rapids is a fairly large town, I still have not found any credible clues to their identity.
The Municipal Auditiorium in Lake Worth, FL (incorporated as Lucerne in 1912 by the Palm Beach Farms Company) is now home to City Hall and is one of the prominent points of their Historic District.
