Comments:Hello, I'm writing to tell you that the letters I read where very interesting. I'm doing a project for my World History class in High SChool! When I was looking for things on the World War 1 I ran into this site, so I started reading some letters from Lloyd M. Staley to Mary. I was really happy that I found this! I was wondering if it was alright if i copy them to us for my project? If you could get back to me as soon as you could that would be great!
Thank you,
Krista Russell

Comments:I am doing some research into what the life was like before the world war. This is for a assignment in my English class at college. After reading your Autobiography i was deeply moved, by the closeness of your family. You and your brothers swimming in the creek. I have no grandparents that i can ask how it was like so i appreciate you taking time to put up this web page. I am sure that whoever reads this history will find it just as moving and touching as i myself did. Thank you so much for letting me take a look into your life.
Best wishes
Jane

Comments:I'm writing entries for a website on World War I as it was experienced by New Mexicans. The topic is part of a larger research project tied to the Centennial of New Mexico's Statehood (to be celebrated in January 2012). One portion of the website lists links to interesting materials people can pursue on their own. I'll include mention of your website and hope that others will find it as rewarding as I did.
Thank you for putting this material on the web and for the careful annotation. You've done an outstanding job!
It's my expectation the website on which my material will appear will be up and running by May and the entries on World War I should appear by June. It'll be found at www.bingaman.senate.gov , and the entries are short, intepretive essays running from 750 to 1200 words. Concurrent with the website entries I'm writing expanded versions for a book I hope will be out in time for the Centennial in 1912. Both the book and the website are organized around this theme: "The Federal Presence in New Mexico During the Statehood Era, 1890s-1940s."
Again, thank you for making available these fascinating letters!

Comments:I am taking a history course at CCU, and one of our assignments is to take a person from history and write their story as an "auto"biography, as if we were that person. We must include their spiritual perspective in our writing. I "happened" upon your site as I was looking at possibilies of who to write about. This is a wonderful, thorough site and an incredible tribute to your heritage. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Comments:I am absolutley intrigued! I feel as though I know Mary and Lloyd, and all the other mentioned therein, personally. This was such a welcome surprise to stumble across as I was doing research for a novel based on the effects of WW1 on the textile & other industries. Although I am a woman in my thirties, I feel as though I am right there in France in 1918. The vivid descriptions and wonderful storytelling format are delightful. Thank you so much for putting these out there for all of us to enjoy.~sw~
