Responding to Gail Ockey - I do remember you very well. You were (and I'm sure still are) a great teacher who positively influenced thousands of lives at the Idaho State Institute of religion. I'm glad to know you are out there and that you took time to respond to this article. Jerry Borrowman

Thank you for a beautiful, meaningful story. We all need this kind of compassion and selfless kindness in today’s world.

It’s a beautiful story. Thank you. Through small and simple things, great things come to pass.

In your notes you state about Seldes, Germany. Many people have mistaken S for F in old handwriting. Could this be the case? Because there is a Felde Germany that was occupied by Nazis.

Nazi Germany's tremulous affect on the Jews was horrendous; but this act of kindness and thanks is such a remarkable ray of sunshine in such a dismal time. My grandfather had a saying: "There is no sin like the sin of ingratitude." That has stayed with me since I heard it many years ago and now gratitude and kindness became the tool to help reunite old acquaintances in difficult times. The miracle of the letter being delivered to Duluth was in it self a gift from a loving Heavenly Father.

Seldes may be a German town that was completely obliterated. There were many of those- where no sign of their existence ever happened, especially after the many wars. The museums related to the wars there talk about that.
