Dear Mom + Dad,
Just a few lines to let you know that everything is still
fine with me. I haven't been on a mission in a week simply because there hasn't
been any at all. Most of our time has been taken up with local training
schedules. I had my first preliminary steps in being checked out as first pilot
when I took a short ride with the operations officer. I may and then again I
may not be checked out. Things have not as yet come to a head so I have no way
of determining just what will happen. I'm sure though, that things will all
work out for the best in the long run. - I received a very nice letter from Mr
Campbell, my old coach at Normal. He gave me a lot of news of the old gang
which sure was good to hear. Quite a few of the boys I know are here in the
country and perhaps I'll run into some of them. He tells me that N.P. is to be
quite a large institution, if post war plans go through. I may yet get my
degree from there yet. It sure would be fun to go back to the old school again.
That's about it. I'll write again soon. See you soon.
All my love
Bobby
