Hello Payton:
How are you? Everything is going all
right here. I have a little over 2 months to do then think I will be back
in th States. I wouldn't be surprised by what there is some jobs in the
Philippines and So. Pacific by then so keep your ears open and see what you can
find out. I will try and come down and see you when I get back. How
do you like your job by now? Had a letter from a timer who worked for me
here. He is in Inyokern, Calif. out in the Mojave desert. I had a
letter from Delphia and she hasn't heard from Carl for some time. I am
going to write dad a letter. He never answered the last one I wrote him.
Guess I'll have to bawl him out.
Well good luck to you and drop me a few lines
and let me know how you are doing. So long.
Loren
