Army Air Base Pocatello, Idaho Dec. 31, 1943 Pocatello, Idaho Dear Dad & Mom: This is the last letter I'm going to write this year. [Won't be long?] and I'm in the army two years. Sometimes I wonder how things would be if this war hadn't come along. I'm writing this letter perched up on a crew chief stand in the hanger and watching for air planes to come in. I have to work nights for a while now don't know just how many I will do but any is too many. It's cold again tonight sure hope nothing is wrong which makes extra work. It's mean working in the cold night air. Gally Caryls' baby does have an Irishy sounding name, wonder if she has red hair. Expect that would please Rosy for he is quite auburn.
