The following collection of Love Letters in this book are from Rita, who lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; after she came from Naples, Italy. . I had met Rita in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the early-50's, when I was also living there. After we had gone out for a couple of years, in January, 1955, I was enlisted in the Army and sent to Camp Gordon, Georgia; and I was not able to spend close time with Rita. As I try to recall, it was about 1955 that Rita started writing the Love Letters to me; and they continued as I was moved to Fort Monmouth, N.J. and then to Camp Devon, MA. And so, the following paragraphs in this book make up the summary of the collection of Rita's Love Letters which cry out to me. Rita also would often tell me, 'I just can't stop thinking of you.' Now again, it saddens me to think and realize that I did not respond positively to Rita's motivating suggestions of us getting married. And so, after I had helped her to get a High School Diploma, she traveled back to Italy with a U. S. Government's job.
