Description: "This book is comprised of letters between Fred Slivon, Class of '52, and Frants Albert, '53, neighbors and room mates at Princeton. Begun in 1950, the correspondence flourished during the years after Fred Slivon graduated, went on to Harvard Law School and into the Army before returning to his home town, Chicago. Upon his own graduation Frants Albert also joined the Army, enrolled in the School of Architecture at UC Berkeley and stayed in California. The cache of letters was discovered in 2006. A record of an uncommon friendship, the letters reflect both writers' intense efforts to discover themselves, their own intellect, talents, and creativity. And not least, to find love. Their correspondence tapers off as their lives progress and they become, perhaps, as Fred Slivon once cautioned '...good people but no more.'"--from publisher.
