Dear Folks:
Moved again! I seem to always end up back at Frederick. Lubbock got a telegram Friday for me to report back to Frederick. I got here at 7 last nite which was too late to find out what I’m back for. Won’t find out until Monday but it probably has something to do with communications.
I miss the cool nites and cold water in each barracks that Lubbock had. I would have liked to finished the instrument course since it was a good review. I see quite a few A-26 sitting on the ramp out here. That is the new Douglas “Invader”.
I see Abilene got in the headlines last week. You remember how the rear wheel on my car wobbled? I never did take the spare off since putting it on at home. Before coming back here Friday I put the synthetic tire back on the rear wheel. Before leaving Lubbock I was stopped twice by people to tell me my wheel was loose. I jacked it up and spun the wheel and boy did it wobble! The rim must have been bent when Arlan got the car.
Sounds like Aunt Lou has definitely moved. Tell Wright I saw a Massy-Harris self-propelled combine here that had a little cab built on it for the operator. You better check Cappy’s blood pressure also.
John
