Revisiting Ardmore
In 1946, George Edwin (Ed) Farrar was a traveling salesman in training with Neumann, Buslee & Wolfe. He wrote to his mother from Oklahoma, the home state of his future wife, Bernice Jane (Bernie) Chase, in March 1946. At this point, Ed and Bernie had not met and would not meet each other for another two years.

Oklahoma Biltmore
Oklahoma City, OklahomaI like these large letter heads. I don’t have to write so much.
Dearest Mother:
Haven’t heard from you in several days, but know it isn’t your fault. We changed our route a bit. Mr. Buslee is going back to Chicago from here. Then J.B. and my-self are going back to Ark, and then back into Kan.
I feel at home in most of these towns as, I have visited the majority of them before. A couple days ago, was through Ardmore, and drove to the field. All the boys have gone, and is now a civilian field, with D.C.3’s.
Hope Gerry can arrange for your reservations to Susanville O.K. Am sure I can manage to get to Atlanta before you leave. I miss greatly being with the family, but I know some day I will be able to give you the things you want. I’ll be getting out of school soon, and then I’ll receive a certain percent of all business of the territory. Then I’ll be working out of Atlanta, and I’ll build you a brand new house. I just want to see all in the family happy, and they will be some day.
Write when you can and give my love to all. Tell Millie her home state looks very good.
Love,
Ed
Notes:
- Gerry was Ed’s oldest sister, Geraldine. She was married to Wally Mass and they lived in Susanville, California. Ed’s mother planned to visit Gerry with daughter Beverly and son Gene as soon as school ended for the summer break.
- Millie was Ed’s oldest brother, Carroll Jr.’s, wife. She was also from Oklahoma and a friend of Bernice Chase.
