Ink Will Stay: The Letters of Eunice Funk and Edwin Schupbach, 1944-1946
In an age when letters were the primary form of communication, the letters between Eunice Funk and Edwin Schupbach show a relationship develop from a gift of a pack of gum to a marriage proposal.
Unearthed on the 60th year of Ed and Eunice's wedding anniversary, these letters take us back to a time now long forgotten. First hand accounts of speaking with Nazi prisoners, running a farm, being a working girl in Peoria, and entertainment in the form of radio programs and singing around the piano are all included in this piece of literary nonfiction. (Includes over 60 pictures.)
20% of all proceeds will be donated to the American Heart Association to honor those in the book who are no longer with us.

"Ink Will Stay" What an awesome book; 6 stars for sure! I was drawn into the lives of Eddie & Bess through the pages of this book. It was fun to see how she in the city and he on the farm lived their lives from day to day. The 109ers were a rowdy bunch who loved life and enjoyed it to the fullest, whether they were "helping" do chores on the farm, vacationing in St. Louis, going on tears, cleaning the apartment, etc. The letters are filled with humor and history. The author did a great job putting the information together (compiling the letters, scanning notes that were in the original letters and pictures from a photo album)so we can come to know Eddie and Bess as they were before their marriage and can continue to celebrate their lives today.
