Abstract:
A chance meeting on a northbound train out of Wilmington on February 1, 1943 led to a long-distance romance that is forever preserved in letters. Harold Gutterman, a member of the US Army Air Force, was heading home, and Bootsie Lefkowitz of Wilmington was going to New York to visit a friend. They were both 19. They would not meet again till after the war, but Harold kept up an almost daily correspondence. They were married April 11, 1946, and it lasted 49 years. Harold died in 1995 and Bootsie in 2013.

Abstract:
Tomlin recounts the history of the June German, which was held in a large tobacco warehouse in Rocky Mount. It was a yearly dance that began in 1880 to celebrate the harvest of the tobacco crop and attracted thousands of dancers along with many spectators. By the 1950s they had disappeared from the Eastern North Carolina social scene. Although African Americans and whites held separate dances, it was a highlight of both their social seasons and it brought in big bands like the Dorseys and Count Basie, the national press, and prominent people nationwide, like movie stars.
