young man in the military the idea to write a letter was a good one but i decided to include a letter from grandpa instead this just illustrates how stories morph over time here is the epilogue unedited the seven things was a once now deleted thread in the novel in which grandpa gave wayne advice it refers to completing seven things a person can take pride in not own but can be photographed to sandy showalter i heard a song the other day it included the word bewildering in the lyrics and it made me remember you and that time in my life when i wrote letters i never sent but hearing that word caused me to pause and pick up a piece of paper and a pen i haven t done that since school days usually i just type but i thought you d want to know that today i m checking off one of my seven things serving my country there will be a photograph and when i look at it i ll remember everything sincerely wayne h kovok 2nd lieutenant united states air force posted by karen harrington at 11 45
