How often does Alan write to Becky and the boys?
Becky and the boys received anywhere between two to three letters a week from Alan. In addition to letters, Alan would also make greeting cards for many occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries and obscure holidays we would normally not make a big deal about on the outside. You can see some of his artwork on the cards and envelopes Donnie has on the bed during his interview. Alan took great pride in his ability to draw and he loved sending the boys drawings of their favorite cartoon characters. There was a series of drawings Alan made for Becky where he used the candy coated shell of M&M s for paint. Evidently his color pencils were confiscated for some reason.
