Series I Correspondence Part 1 Chronologically Arranged

NOTE: Correspondence, while mainly found in this series, is also located in virtually all other

series of this collection. Generally, but not always, series and folder descriptions in this guide

will indicate the presence of correspondence. Files related to publications, presentations,

http://www.lib.iup.edu/depts/speccol/All%20Finding%20Aids/Finding%20aids/MG%20or%20Col/MG88Pa%20Council%20Soc%20Stud.doc


conference work, etc. are especially rich with related correspondence. See especially files within

Series XIV, Part 3, Research Topics.

Correspondence is arranged chronologically for the most part. The main exceptions are for 1977-

1983 where all correspondence files for that period are arranged alphabetically (Part 2) and the

final group of letters, correspondence files arranged alphabetically by names of organizations or

persons (Part 3). Among the letters will be greeting cards. Note how politically incorrect most

were during the 1950‘s and bulk of the 1960‘s. Below are lists of names appearing as senders or

recipients in each folder; but, only when their identities are not made known fully in letterheads

or signature blocks. For many years, outbound correspondence is not indexed, as no carbons

were made. For the years up to about 1960 the only outbound to appear is that received and

saved by JWL’s parents. There are some outbound copies in later years, carbons, photocopies,

and e-mail print-outs. Sometime in the early 1970’s JWL’s parents moved to Texas to life just a

few blocks from JWL and his family. Correspondence with them will cease. JWL’s mother died

in 1976 and his father passed away in 1978. Note: While Series I is the correspondence mother

lode, letters are to be found in other series as indicated below in the various series descriptions.

Check: Series II, Part 3E and Series III, Part 3 for additional letters and cards from colleagues

and students.

Pennsylvania, Indiana, Pennsylvania; retired to Altoona, Pennsylvania. NOTE 1: JWL’s

oldest son, John, died in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada near the outset of this year. JWL’s

letters show uncharacteristic pensiveness, even depression. He clinged to his grandson,

his youngest son, former students, and a Penn State-Altoona freshman who reminded him

so much of his lost son. Strange items in this times-between-times year, indeed! NOTE

2: JWL bought a computer in mid-2003 and was on-line; however, he persisted in snail-

mail, finding it much more easily done than on a typewriter (a noisy 1909 Underwood).

This is possibly the highest volume year of all.

warnings from his predecessor, Joe Mastro, JWL attempted to work with Indiana social
