For many years, Dad would write himself a letter on December 31, summarizing the year’s events and looking to the next. These letters functioned like a personal inventory of sorts.

It was important in so many ways: 1968 was the year of the Folsom Prison concert and the year he married my mother, among many other significant occurrences.
