Dear Don; Mother, dad, & Shirl, were up here in Poky Saturday and Sunday. We had a hell of a good time and it sure seemed nice to see them but I wish you had have been able to come too. The reason I haven’t written to you for a few days is that I thought you were transferred. It was in the paper so I thought I should wait until I got your new address & station but according to a letter from Earl Rapp to Mrs. Rapp you guys are still there so I’ll write more often.
Boy have we been having tests and drill and inspection lately. I passed all of my coursed for the first 4 week report and I hope I can keep it up.
Gee I sure hope you can get to Logan. I get a “shore pass” (get out of the city) once a month and I get shore liberty (stay in city) every week end so I can see you once a month anyway.
Well good Luck Don
Your Bros. Bill
