These letters took me right back to my father’s stories of Amherst (Class of 44W*) and Smith pre-WWII. My own days at Smith included many of the same traditions from this era, perhaps most importantly, the cultivating of smart, creative, and independent women, which is the lifeline that connects all “Smithies.” I felt a palpable connection to Bonnie’s mother through these letters.
