A Letter To A Young Lady On December 7, 1941

On December 7, 1941 a father (my grandfather) wrote a letter to his young daughter (my mother).

It is a very sweet note to a pretty young lady. This letter was given to her on the morning of December 7, 1941 – before the attack on Pearl Harbor began.

Letter to BWH

December 7, 1941

And so make life;  death,

and that vast forever,

One grand sweet song.

Daddy

He's from the past so he's knows the future. Dirque du Soleil hails from the San Fernando Valley in Southern California where he was raised by hippie acrobats who eventually left him to join a French circus. After his parents left, Dirque survived by appearing in several “off-the-lot” film productions and by giving Hustle lessons at the local discotheque. Even though he was never on Love Boat, he has served as a consultant for many 70s revival television shows over the years.
