True Stories Fiction Prose Poetry To the Editor Opinion Letters Photos/Designs	Threads of Correspondence Background:  As a young man, I wrote often to some of my friends from college.  Much of this correspondence was with two young ladies.  One was my age and, like me, a physics major; the other was two years younger and, like me, hung out at the college radio station. I used a typewriter.  I kept not only their letters (which I won't reproduce here, of course) but also carbon copies of mine, which serve as a sort of diary of that era. Here are edited excerpts from my letters, leaving out the overly personal parts.  I've arranged them not only chronologically but also thematically in the following "threads," each on a single topic.  So far, I've redacted only the letters from the years 1969 through 1980.
