Book Overview
MY FATHER'S "TREASURED" LETTERS The real author is my father, Charles A. (Chuck) Welsh, the sailor who penned the 400-plus letters summarized in the book. His journalism career spanned nearly 50 years in the newspaper business. He started with the Somerset, Pennsylvania Daily American after graduating from high school in 1929. Eleven years later he joined the Johnstown, Pennsylvania Democrat and then moved on to the Associated Press in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1942. He returned to the Philadelphia office after the war. The AP sent him to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1955, Louisville, Kentucky in 1959 and finally the New York office in 1962. He remained there until his 1978 retirement. Dad was an accomplished writer and Treasures from the Attic showcases his journalistic talent when he describes his love of family, boot camp, a cross-country train trip, a typhoon, a battle, V-J Day or just a day in the life of an ordinary seaman.
