BOX 4-6 | Correspondence, 1936-2012 | ||||||||||||
The Correspondence series, 1936-2012, documents Yudain’s activities through
incoming and outgoing letters with friends, family, colleagues, and United States
presidents, senators, and representatives. The correspondence is modest in volume
and mostly features what Yudain identified as “letters of interest.” The earliest
letters are mostly to and from family members and detail Yudain’s time in the
United States Army and experiences as a journalist in Los Angeles, California.
Later correspondence is mostly addressed to Yudain in his capacity as editor of
Roll Call and features letters addressing publication matters
and offering congratulations on Roll Call milestones.
Correspondents include Silvio Conte, Robert J. Dole, Hubert H. Humphrey, Lyndon B.
Johnson, Vincent Lopez, Richard M. Nixon, Ron Randell, Irving Wallace, and Bernie
Yudain. Material types include letters, invitations, greeting cards, memoranda, and attachments including clippings, photographs, and programs. |
