Author Laura Cantor Zelman autographs a copy of her book at Ashby Ponds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Milton Cantor hoped to write a book someday based on the letters he sent home to his wife while he was serving as a U.S. Army doctor during World War II. The correspondence describes his wartime experiences in Britain, France, Germany and Czechoslovakia, as well as at several Army bases in the United States.<\/p>\n

He never did get around to writing that book. After the war, he devoted himself to his medical practice and his family, which grew to include four daughters. He continued to practice medicine until his death at age 74.<\/p>\n

This year, Cantor\u2019s oldest daughter, Laura Cantor Zelman, fulfilled her father\u2019s dream by writing and publishing<\/a> \u201cIn My Father\u2019s Words: The World War II Letters of an Army Doctor,\u201d which draws from more than 500 letters he wrote to his wife, Rose, between 1941 and 1945.<\/p>\n
