This memoir follows a young woman's correspondence over an eleven month period. She received a scholarship to attend New York University's graduate program, New York City, to earn a Master in Retailing Science. Her journey began by almost missing the bus from Monmouth, Oregon to catch the train in Eugene, Oregon, onto Oakland, California, and running to catch the Treasure Island1ferry to the World's Fair August of 1939. Finding the last available seat, she never would have expected to sit next to the man who would change the course of her future good luck and finding love. The personal writings found in the following pages were those written by the young woman, and by the man she met on the ferry, without edits. Their letters recount their developing relationship and love story over the course of the next year. Some expressions within the letters may be offensive to today's readers, but they were commonly used by some during that era.I noticed in the reading of the letters that although one or more may be missing from the collection, the essence of the growth of their relationship is intact.My mother in-law gave this book its title, Good Luck. It happened in her last year or so of her life, she paused to think a bit, and then simply said, the book should be called, 'Good Luck'. She felt that it was simply good luck that she and her future husband had met, corresponded, and later married. That it was, a chance occurrence of Good Luck.Elizabeth Jackson Rickman Leatham
