DENVER – A piece of a family’s personal history had been forgotten about, until now.

It all started when Jean had written a letter to her sister, while she was trying to make it in the big city.

“She was in college and I was in Kansas City,” said Castle.

A letter like this is a treasure, not only to her, but also to her son Roger.

“To hear stories about my mother wearing high heels and interviewing for a job and going to a modeling school, my sisters and I were just howling at that,” said Roger.

But this letter has a much bigger story to it than just his mom’s adventures back in the 1940s.
