Bud started out as a journalism major. When he enlisted he asked his mother to keep a scrapbook of his letters. She did that and as a result we have most of the letters. In the pictures below there is
- the scrapbook Bud's mother used to archive his letters
- the open scrapbook displaying how Bud's mother glued the envelopes on to the page. Each envelope is carefully slit so letter can be removed.
- the box of letters that didn't fit in the scrapbook plus letters Bud received from people.
