Connections-To-Home / Edits
The following resources are provided as a reference to edits made to the book series "Connections to Home" by Dwight J. Raatz.
Due to privacy concerns and some specific descriptions, I have taken the liberty to edit small portions of some letters. My main concern is that each of these letters was a private message to or from David Wagner, and some of the content shared may be inappropriate or even inflammatory. I have taken great pains to keep the overall spirit of the letters and did my best to keep the necessary information for the story.
If you see a sentence in one of the lettes “wrapped” with two asterisks (**) before and after the sentence, that means I have edited the content. I am making the original content available to readers if they contact me directly via my website with the sentence you want revealed. Please provide the following information: the date the letter was written, the name of the writer, and the full sentence, including the “**.”
