I inherited a set of 43diaries that span from 1909 – 1969. They were given to my grandmother RuthFerris Thompson and she passed them down to me. The years covering 1909-1938were published in a book called “Ruby” in 1995 by my Aunt Bonnie ThompsonGlaser (a granddaughter) of Ruby’s, daughter of Ruth and John Thompson. Bonniewas given legal right to publish any and all of these journals for a time spanof five years (ending on12-31-1997) after which all rights to publish any remaining unpublishedjournals reverted to me.
I started re-reading theWorld War ll journals and found them extremely worthy of note on manylevels. I realized how little Iknew about the events surrounding World War ll and what the Londoner’s inparticular had to endure. Thesejournals are a combination of the historical and the exceptionally personal.
I thought that others mayalso find them intriguing and started a blog. In doing so I received reactions from people from around theworld and this inspired me to publish them in book form for all to enjoy.
