One letter from Pauline "Pat" Addison to Paul H. Lobik dated November 11, 1939. Mentions Armistice day and comments "November 11th. Armistice Day What a farce! The U. States celebrates Surly other countries find themselves to the date glaring on the calendar. Even here there seems to be little desire for rejoicing. Is it any wonder? Myself, being a 'wolf crier,' I suppose, I firmly expect us to enter the present struggle - which results, I believe, from greed, avarice and hate."

Paul H. Lobik changed his last name from Hlobik between June and August of 1936. As a result the earlier letters in his collection are addressed to Paul Hlobik and the later letters are addressed to Paul. H. Lobik. To remain constant and honor his choice of name he is listed in all letters as Paul H. Lobik.

Lobik, Paul H., 1915-1998
Addison, Pauline, "Pat", 1916-1984
