1962 Winnie Palmer To Jean And Pat Ward-Thomas Letter Just Weeks After Arnie 2nd British Open Championship
"By Friday I was aware that Arnie had about reached the breaking point, and could not go through much more, so we came directly home Sunday night, and have had a heavenly week, relaxing around the house, with nothing to worry about, and no appointments to keep." Arnold Palmer's longtime wife Winnie wrote to Jean And Pat Ward-Thomas just weeks after The King's second Open Championship win. Pat Ward-Thomas was shot down during W.W. II and was a P.O.W. for several years. In addition to the two page typed letter, Winnie wrote another in blue ballpoint pen and signed her name.
