 Pen pals meet after 74 years and 3,000 letters

// They've written more than 3,000 letters to each other over more than 70 years, but Audrey Sims and her friend Norma Frati had never met in person. Until now.

The pair were first in touch in 1940, when they
were assigned to write each other a letter as part of a pen pal project
in school. They continued to correspond, but Sims, 83, who lives in
Australia, and Frati, 87, who lives in Texas, never got around to
getting together.

I think we've got parallel families. We're both
married and divorced and married again, and it's sort of almost the
same," Sims said in an interview with Texas affiliate KHOU.

The pair, who share a mutual love of flowers, said they planned to visit
some gardens during Sims' stay. And the two women say that once Sims heads back to Australia, their written correspondence will resume.
