Reece’s love for classical music

“I'm trying to write this through the large sound of Finlandia, which strikes me as being the best piece of patriotic music ever written. One needn’t be a native of any particular country to enjoy it, since ‘home is where the heart is.’ … I finally broke down and bought myself a good portable radio for about what a second hand automobile used to cost. It hurts me to think of what I paid for it every time I turn it on.” —-Reece to college friend George Broadrick, August 6, 1945

You’d recognize Finlandia -it’s been used in many movies and television shows, perhaps most memorably in 1998’s “Die Hard”.
