like to see him. Guess the army just doesn't see it that way. Went swimming this evening for about thirty minutes. Some of the boys had to get back to go on guard so we couldn't stay long. The water was really fine. Too many jelly fish though and they burn if you touch them. I go on guard at ten o'clock tonight myself. Speaking of guard, I managed to stay awake until four o'clock the other morning. Sure slept once I got the chance though. I keep expecting a cable telling me that I'm an uncle. Golly honey, you will come into the family and be an aunt. What do you know about that? They hadn't decided for sure on names, but these seemed to come first. If it is a girl (Karen Lee) and a boy (Scott ? ) How do you like them? Ken said he didn't realize how hard it was to decide on a name for a baby. The last two days have really been fine. Just enough breeze to keep cool, with no dust. Kind of nice for a change. Golly, these lines on this new stationary are so close together it takes for ever to fill
