I am writing this somewhere at sea. Where I'm headed I don't know. Tell all the boys that I will have things ready for them when they get here. Do you have Cals address? If you have will you send it to me. When I first hit Meade they told us that we were going back for more training. Something must of shipped for now I'm along ways out. It's not possible to write any news yet, but will try and keep you posted as near as I can. The only bad thing I have run into so far has been sea sickness, otherwise have had a fine trip and feeling in top shape. Don't make a mistake and figure wrong as I did. Hope to see you in Estes Park before to long a time. Willard |
