You undoubtedly heard that Rose finished and has joined the army. She is a pretty happy girl. She may get a short vacation and is going home if she does. Hope she does, the folks really miss having someone around there. I was in a rest area a short time ago and I was lucky enough to get a chance to visit one of the larger cities here.

Not bad stuff, but a little rich for my blood. Got my hair butched again. If you can picture me with long whiskers,
