My Father, Melvyn (Mel) Thompson, travelled to Tanganyika in 1936 as a young geologist. He met my mother, Winona Wessels, in Geita and were married a few months later in August 1940. I have a collection of their letters from 1934 (Melvyn was still at University in Canada) until 1965 when they repatriated to Canada. I have begun to upload these letters and photos to www.melvynsletters.ca - if you are interested be sure to blog your thoughts on the site...access to the letters is via a page link at the top right hand menu bar.
Enjoy.
