Valentines - February 1924

I decided that it's time to start scanning again.. and I ran across this valentine sent to my aunt and uncle on February 14, 1924 (my aunt was 3 1/2 and my uncle 1 1/2).

I can't tell who sent it -- maybe someone else can read it.  

However, I googled the address and found the house on Zillow.

 

It is super cute .. I don't know anything about Delaware, Ohio.  But pretty amazing to find a house that my grandparents used to live in.

Christmas time, 1983

The following is a letter from Ila to "Children, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, All who remember ... eating food prepared by Dessie Rachel Pope White".  It includes some commentary and and several recipes.  Enjoy!

Miami University - the Legacy lives on

Apparently there is an award given every year at Miami of Ohio in Howard's name.  Here is what it says on their website:

Howard White Award

Howard White was chairman of the Department of Government at Miami University from 1927 to 1958. He was a member of the Executive Committee of the American Political Science Association from 1938-1941, and President of the Midwest Conference of Political Scientists from 1942-1946. He served as a delegate to the European Conference of Professors of International Law and Relations in 1926 and was a member of the Heidelberg International Workshop on the Social Studies in 1950. In 1959 he participated as a delegate to the Atlantic Council in London, and was also involved in the 5th NATO Parliamentarians Conference in Washington. Active in state and local government and author of many publications, Dr. White had a truly distinguished career as a political scientist.  This award recognizes seniors who have excelled in their scholarship and leadership.
