I don't know how he'd feel.""I was a little boy then," says Harvey.In 1951, on Harvey's birthday, a letter arrived at the home. "Dear Son," it said. "I'm wishing you a very, very happy day and send you my love. We will try to come to see you, but don't know when we can. I hope you are well. Love from Dad." Harvey waited year after year, but his father never came. "That was the last correspondence that he ever had," explains Russell.Harvey's father died in 1954, but Harvey never knew. Every Christmas came and went — and on the quiet plains in Iowa, Harvey waited for his father. In the 1980s, he was transferred to the Taylor Ridge Nursing Home in Lennox. Everyone there knows about the letter Harvey has kept all these years.
