Dear Don;
Well I just got out of a boring Psychology class and am I sleepy. I studied last night and then got up at 600—hell we don’t get half enough shut-eye but then I guess just so we live is all that matters.
I just put in my application for a special week-end liberty so I can drop down to Salt Lake Saturday night and a few hours on Sunday. It sure will be good to see “home” after 2 months away. I sure wish you could come too but Houston is a little farther away than “(Poky)”. By the way, how do you like Texas, Houston especially? Have you met up with any of those beautiful cow-punch gals? How large is the University there & is it as good as U.of U. ? (haha)
I’ll bet you guys like the set-up you have there as compared to FaRRagut and Chicago because in these Colleges they mix in a few moments of pleasure, and gals, with work. It is also swell when they issue clean sheets per week and you can send your washing out. Boy I’ll bet that’s heaven to you guys. By the way is Earl Rapp with you in Houston? If he is tell him Hello and good luck too.
Bill Bullough says to tell you hello and good luck.
Boy they have a hell of a (good?) obstacle course here on the campus and we have to run it every day. They also have that 3 mile mountain trail we run if we want to and boy does that poop you out. I guess you get enough of that scuttlebutt in Houston too.
Well write as often as you can Don and I’ll do the same
Best of luck
Bill
