Scope and Contents

The collection consists of less than a quarter of a linear foot of materials accumulated by Mary Schattenberg Delaney. While a student at Our Lady of the Lake College in San Antonio in 1966, Delaney started a letter writing campaign in support of soldiers serving in Vietnam. During this time, she corresponded with Randy Nelson, an airman from Ohio. The materials include items that Delaney received from Nelson (a Christmas card, Vietnamese currency, and photographs), as well as materials pertaining to Delaney's efforts to support the troops and her letter writing campaign (correspondence with General William Westmoreland and news clippings). The materials are dated 1964-1966.
