Sorting through boxes of papers, I came across letters I wrote from Nicaragua in 1987-88. I will be reproducing them here. They will be snapshots in time Using only free software, there will be some clumsy edits where I removed addresses that are no longer relevant, or pleas for funds. (If you look closely, you’ll note that this is a dot-matrix print.)
If it’s not clear, the “Day in the Life” section (starting after the second photo) represents a day’s work on the trucking crew. Our job was to haul materials to the various worksites, as well as carry the logging and milling crew to and from the woods. We also had to gather some of those materials – for making brick and concrete.
I think that’s the best I can do for this one. The next is handwritten, so I will type it into the post and you won’t have to follow a link.
