Jefferson Burdick letters- June 30, 1936 and on.....

[1880nonsports]

he mentions quite sad in retrospect. It's kind of weird looking back at someone's life through their letters - especially when it involves someone who was basically "just a regular guy" dealing with real life issues and his passions.
Also while a bit obvious in context - I had never considered the added difficulties of communicating and exchanging goods/funds with our European counterparts during the war years beyond what we experience now. Yet another impasse dealt with by the pioneers.
The supplement still missing from my run - eventually hope to add it - maybe I'll get lucky and find the first page to my 1939 ACC too!

Henry- You got that right. And Mr. Burdick was quite the frugal collector too. He always wanted things to stay inexpensive.

Now if someone can help me with a 1944 and 1945 Supplement, it will be most appreciated. Here is the 1940 Supplement Preface (there are approx. 20 pages total).

Hey Greg
I don't personally know, but Burdick and hobby historian Geor.ge Vreche.ck might. I might check with him. I haven't really delved into it (yet) to make sure, I just assume there are '44 and '45's (big assumption). And what is kind of cool, is ole Mr.Burdick might talk about it in one of the upcoming letters? That is pure speculation on my part though as I truly don't read almost any of them until I go to scan them for the board. For yours truly it's kind of exciting reading them.
