Hello. I got your letter now. I'm perfectly content at the moment and I am really enjoying myself for the first time in a long time.
I bought a ten speed at the Marine Exchange on base for $76. I couldn't see paying over $100 for a bike that would do just as good. Some friends paid $150 for their bikes. They are real good bikes, but I saved $70 so I'm happy.
I plan to move off base soon. I want to start pricing places and find the most reasonable place for $100, give or take a few bucks. I will move in with Sue, a friend that I have recently gotten to know better. It seems funny sometimes when we hit it right on the nail to what we both like. A couple of times we just cracked up because of what one said. She used to like Ringo when the Beatles first came out and so did I. I don't know how we got on the subject. Anyways I think I could get along better with her than any of my other friends. I certainly don't want to live with a chick who is a bitch and I don't want to live with a guy when I am just starting to really enjoy myself.
Sue and I are going to drive to Warren for the weekend in two weeks. I cannot wait to get back and look at the hills. I sure miss the beauty of Warren. I'll take and show Sue the dam. Tim is in a band and I want to see him play the drums.
I saw the Eagles in concert last Sat night. The acoustics were terrible but they put on a good show. I want to see Pink Floyd in D.C. but I don't know if I will make it to the concert.
I am still planning to take 3 weeks this summer. Larry wrote to say that they plan to go to New England when I am home. I hope so. I'm looking forward to seeing the relatives. (I might even wear my Navy uniform to church.)
Tonight I am going fishing aboard a cabin cruiser. I'm not sure how big the boat is, but I'm looking forward to going. We are going to have a small party abroad the ship. I'm really excited about going.
Mom told me that you weren't selling your car. It was just a thought. It would be better if you did keep your car. I want to buy a car for a couple hundred dollars. I want a convertible, though.
Well I'm going to leave now.
4 June. Hello. I'll add a few lines to this letter.
I got a flat tire on my bike last night. I'll get Gordon to fix it for me.
I am going to drop my rate and strike for yeoman. I don't have to attend school. I'd rather just work at a job until I get out. My job now isn't too rewarding. Sometimes I have to push myself in what I have to do.
I plan to move off base by the end of June. Sue and I found a place seven blocks from the base. It has 2 bedrooms, tv, washer and dryer, all utilities paid for $170. It is the downstairs part of a house. For the prices they ask around here that is a good deal. Plus we are allowed to have pets.
That's about all here.
I called home and asked Mom and Dad if we are going to Mass. I guess it all boils down to what Dale will do. It's a shame we can't trust him. He's 18 and maturing into a man, but he sure has a lot to improve I don't like to get down in him, but I've pampered him much too long.
Write back soon.
