JD Salinger and my Uncle David
My mother’s brother, David Wright, served with Counter Intelligence in Europe during World War II. One of the stories he shared with me was the rescue of a fellow soldier from beneath an overturned jeep in France. The soldier that he saved, JD Salinger, was obviously grateful and the two stayed in touch for years after they returned home from WWII. JD Salinger, author of Catcher in the Rye, died today, January 27th, 2010.
