Correspondance with Jack Lemmon

For years Dad would periodically tell us of his time when Jack Lemmon the Actor was in his Public Speaking Class at Harvard. In 1995, Dad took Chris and Erica (my children) around Harvard and Harvard Square. While at the Harvard Library, he decided to look up Jack Lemmon. He found his name as an alumni and his office address. He decided at that time to write him of his recollections of that period at Harvard.  What follows are some of these letters:
