A letter home

Hi My Love,

How ya doing today? I'm fine. I went to the Bob Hope Christmas Show yesterday. It was really neat. There were all kinds of people on his show. Connie Stevens and the first man on the moon himself, Neil Armstrong. He even had Miss World there. Wow! I'm just teasing on that wow. Hope is sure funny. Cracked a lot of good jokes. There were thousands of G.I.'s there but we had a fair seat. At least I could see the people on the stage. My rear sure got sore. We sat on ammo boxes. The show lasted about 3 hours. Connie Stevens sang one song, I think it was called "Bill." Anyway, she got about 6 guys named Bill on the stage and sang to them. She even put her arm around 'em. When she finished singing one guy on the stage said, "my name isn't Bill." He got booted off the stage. What a riot. Everyone roared.

There's supposed to be a truce tonight and New Years but we still have to work. That's what we get for being in radar. Oh well.

I got a letter from Len the other day. He seems pretty happy. He said you brought the car in to his station. Len really cracked a funny - "Your wife brought in the car so I could check her rear end - I mean, differential - whew." That's a quote. I almost fell out of my chair I laughed so hard. You oughta razz him about that.

Well, I have to go. Be good for me. I love you so much.

                                                                  All My Love,
                                                                  David  ♥
