lot of volleyball & getting in quite a bit of swimming. Now that I look back - I didn't even begin to take advantage to the Y pool. I don't think I went swimming in it over four times a year. You know how everybody makes resolves when they are to executed in the future well, mine is to use the pool more often when I get back. I remember I used to be taking a shower & Doc Clow or someone would ask me to play volleyball - & I would never do it - an old man's game or something. Yeah - the second day here I could hardly move my arms or use my fingers. I actually had to lay off a day cause I couldn't type. But we've got a swell hut with a crazy bunch who are always ready to do any thing & it really keeps a guy going. Never a dull moment. From what I've written, maybe I've given to the impression that I'm having the time of my life, just lying around doing nothing. Yes it is true - I am right now - but it's only temporary. I guess there is no need to talk about work as I think everyone is getting their share in one way or another. Where I am now I've been working in the capacity of a Master At Arms - and I have enjoyed it very much. I suppose you could say the mail situation has been pretty fair as I think Donald R. Boyer
