The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 9
The Moon-Sammet family archive preserves handwritten letters and Western Union telegrams exchanged between serviceman Ross Moon and Marianne Sammet of Richmond, California. Written from as far away as Sendai, Japan, and dated into the first days of 1946, they carry holiday greetings, mess hall humor, and the strain of separation as wartime service gave way to occupation duty.
