Remembering Jeanie Smith and the Bond of Care Across War
A letter from Vietnam veteran Carl Espy describes pain, loneliness, and relief found in a smile from Jeanie Smith, who after visiting the White House tea with Mrs. Nixon sent a token. The note highlights Savings Bonds as memory keepsakes and includes varied local notices on education, science anecdotes, and a Norfolk style column ending with a quote from Lord Brougham.
