The letter to Russell

Page 1

St. Ann School Gloucester, Mass 6/5/67 Dear Russ, How are you feel-ing? You like being home from Veitnam. I know it is bad over there. My brother had some pictures of what it was like. I belong to a bagpipe band St. Peter's bagpipe band. I played the the drums but I play bagpipes now. I have a joke for you what is black an white and red all over. If you don't know let us know and I'll tell you. God bless you. Your friend, Cindy Carrancho

About the photo: Found with this letter, in the spot where the photos were taped. Some photographs became detached over the years, so this isn’t confirmed. If you recognize the face or notice a mismatch, please let me know.

In her own words: “I drive a school bus and teach bagpipes.”

In 1967 she wrote that she had played the drums in St. Peter's bagpipe band and had just switched to the bagpipes. Today she teaches them.
