1	Title:	Hello Again Newsletter Records
	Creator:	Hello Again
	Dates:	1942-1945
	Abstract:	Hello Again was a newsletter published during World War II to maintain contact between Cleveland, Ohi,o area Jewish military personnel and their family and friends at home. The founders were Gene and Jerry Squires, Ralph Bing, and Leonard Perlick. As these men were inducted, other friends stepped in to publish the newsletter, including Babs Blaushild, Florence Rosen, Ivy Goldhamer, Dick and Jane Haber, and Renee Pollack Caplan. The mailing list grew to more than 400, and was eventually appended to many issues so that GIs could communicate directly with each other. Issues included articles and columns concerning the war from the perspective of the Cleveland home front, a gossip column, entertainment reviews, sports, news of Jewish communal activities, and first hand reports from the front by soldiers. The collection consists of newsletters, original correspondence from GIs, photographs, mailing lists, newspaper articles, and rosters.
