Letter recounts Soviet invasion
Lawrence resident and retiree from the Kansas Geological Survey Daniel Merriam, 81, reads a portion of the letter he wrote to his wife, Annie Merriam, in 1968, while he was attending a conference in Prague during the Soviet invasion on Aug. 21, 1968, known as the Warsaw Pact Invasion. He also sent her a telegram from Vienna when he safely got out of Czechoslovakia. It was the first word she had heard that he was safe a few days after the invasion.
