Family Years

• How they met - My mother loved to tell us kids how she met my dad Edward John Timko by writing letters to him during the end of WWII. As she told it, my dad’s sister Dorothy was good friends with mother because they went to the same high school. Somehow Dorothy must have told my mom about her brother being stationed at Lackland AFB. Now, during the war, people were constantly encourage to support “our boys over seas.”  And one of the ways suggested was to write to the troops, you know, become a penpal. Dorothy must have told my mom about her brother because Jeannette began writing to him. My dad was a bit surprised when he received the first letter but it soon grew into something that they each enjoyed as the frequency and length of the letters grew over time. (I know this to be true because my mother kept all my dad’s letters to her.) Eventually, they arranged to meet when my dad was home on leave, and, well as they say, the rest is history.
