Monday Evening
Dear Mom + Dad,
Open post for this week is all over and a real wonderful day
it was. I really had one of the best
times I’ve had in quite some time. Would
you care to hear the gruesome details? I
go in to town about 11 Sunday morning and ran around town and ate. Then in the afternoon I bowled a few games
with the boys. My score? Never you mind, that’s my secret! There was a tea dance for the class of 43-H
(my class) and it was fun. I met two
very nice girls. But the crowning event
of the day took place there. I ran into
this girl from of all places, New York.
I took her out to supper and to one of the nice night clubs “The Tropics”,
in town. Incidentally, she had a ’39 Dodge
convertible coupe and a “C” ration card.
What more could a fellow ask, a nice girl, a car, tires, gas, etc. It was really wonderful. Outside of her car she was a swell girl. She had lived in New York before coming down
here and it sure seemed like old home week.
I expect to get a date with her next Monday on our next open post. I have her phone number and will call her up
sometime before then. Enough of that.
I received two letters from you today all at once. It sure was good to hear from you. As there is no mail on Sunday that explains
to the two letters at once.
I got my final average in naval identification today. I ended up with an 88 average for the course
and I’m really proud of it. I was really
worried about that course and here I end up with a good average. I think I may get exempt from code this week. I’m beginning to get 12 words a minute now
and if I can pass that I will not have to go to code class for the rest of my
time here.
They are really getting tough around here. For some ungodly reason we are drilling 3
hours a day. We even have to fall out at
6PM in the evening for an hours drill. It
is really sad. This can waste so darn
much time for more important things. You
can’t do anything about it but it sure beats me.
That’s all for now.
Love
Bobby
