Janet Brucato, 22 years old, lived in Niagara Falls, NY with her parents. Her older brother, Angelo, was a teacher in Hobart, Indiana. Coming home for Easter, he brought two male teacher friends to show them the beautiful Falls. On Good Friday evening Janet and two girl friends went out bowling and then dancing with the three men. While dancing, Janet said to Ed she couldn’t believe she was dancing on Good Friday, that it was unheard of to dance on Good Friday. On Saturday the men went out sight-seeing. That evening they went out dancing again. On Easter Sunday morning Janet and Ed went to Mass together. That evening they went to a movie and then walked the few blocks from the theater to the Falls. There they kissed. Ed said he would write to her. When school ended the end of May, Ed visited again. In early June Janet went to Muncie, Indiana with Angelo. He went to attend summer school at Ball State Teachers College. She went to meet Ed’s parents who lived there and rented rooms to students. Ed visited once more before beginning his job of being program director at a summer camp for children of Gary, Indiana steel mills workers. These are most of his letters. Many were in bad shape and were thrown out.
