The Roy Bedichek Family Letters
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Among other things, The Roy Bedichek Family Letters is about art--the art of letter writing. Entertaining and informative on several levels, the missives between Bedichek family members reach far beyond their roots in Texas. Though Austin businessman Roy Bedichek heads them all in the grand art of epistolary intercourse, each family member contributes a sophisticated, warm voice that relates their interests in the world and community events of the early 20th century. In letters to Lillian, his intended, Roy Bedichek recalls the roughness and isolation of frontier life, and how his mother would cry each morning when his father left for work. Notes to his children as they progressed through college and their careers are full of wisdom and encouragement. As carriers of history, love, literature, the human story, respect for nature, and family togetherness, the Bedichek letters are timeless.
