Wednesday Evening
Dear Mom + Dad,
Your
letter of Sunday night arrived today and I was glad to hear from you. Mom! you
had better come down here and stay for awhile.
The last five days have been really marvelous, warm, sunny, and
wonderfully clear. It would sure do you
a world of good. However, the weather
down isn’t so wonderful as it is so darn changeable. Tomorrow it just as liable to snow. You can’t count on it from one minute to the
next. Regardless the last few days have
been really swell.
I have
open post yesterday and had a really wonderful time. I didn’t do much until 5PM when I had my date
with Peg. Then I did something that was
really fun. We went for a ride all over
the country side around here. Can you
picture me driving a convertible with the roof down, a beautiful day, and a
nice girl beside me? Believe me it was
really enjoyable. I drove out all around
Randolph Field, “The West Point of the Air”, it is a beautiful place. I was out there about the time all the basic
trainers (BT19’s) were returning home and it was a wonderful sight to see them
coming in for a landing. Peg and I then
went to “The Tower” our favorite night spot around here for a little dancing. All and all a grand time.
Believe it
or not we are off all afternoon as there is no more school for us. It seems good just to sit around and relax a
little and not have any school work to worry about.
I got
paid a little while ago. I received $50
even. It isn’t very much as they
deducted our food for half of this month out of it. However, next month we will catch up and
balance the books. It is plenty for me
as I still had $25 left from last month’s pay.
Tonight we
have our graduation dance at the service club.
Naturally Peg is coming out to go with me so I expect to have a good
time tonight too.
Speculation
is running rampant around here as to our destination. As yet we haven’t found out a good guess
would be Tulsa, Oklahoma, or in that vicinity.
It doesn’t make a awful lot of difference though. I’d like to go to some part of the country I
haven’t seen. I’ve seen too much of
Texas already although San Antonio itself isn’t bad. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear myself.
That’s
all for now. I’ll write again tomorrow.
All my love
Bobby
