Contents: |
The collection consists of biographical information, correspondence, writings, photographs, printed material and scrapbooks.
There is much correspondence between "Howie" Holder and his wife and family during World War II. One group of letters from
Clementi to her husband while he was a POW were found in the prison camp 40 years after the war and returned to them. In
1995 Holder wrote a book about his POW experiences titled Escape to Russia.
Of special interest are letters between Clementi Lacey-Baker and Anton Frederik van Dam (1920-1976) in the Netherlands. They
were both 18 years old in 1938 when they began a pen pal relationship. They continued to be friends until his death in 1976.
One of his letters was listed in the 1972 Guiness Book of World Records as the longest letter ever written. It was begun
in 1940 and ended in 1945, and gave details about the German invasion of his country and the effect on his family. Years
later Clementi transcribed this 514 page letter and titled it "Dear Clem."
Printed material includes newsletters from the prison camp titled The Oflag 64 Item. There are scrapbooks/photo albums of
H. Randolph and Clementi Holder, Susan Lacey-Baker, and Anton van Dam.
