Hey Kathy! Weekend is finally calmed down so I have a wee bit of ME (read FReep) time.

I’ll pass along your thanks to Chris in my next letter to him.

I had a bright idea because I’m on the run so much these days! I pre printed a stack of envelopes with his address and my return address. That way I can write a few lines and just stick it in the mail.

This Day in U.S. Military History August 20

1942 - Searchlights crossing the sky cease to be a fixture of Hollywood premieres as of this day in 1942. In an attempt to avoid attack and surveillance by enemy forces in World War II, the entire West Coast was required to dim its lights at night. During the war, movie studies were also limited in the amount of cloth they could use in costumes, the quantity of new construction they could devote to sets, and the amount of film stock they could purchase.

Good evening, Mooch. Is your area back to “normal” yet? Have your transportation issues improved?

How very cool!! Congratulation to you all, The Boy, The Missus and you, for jobs well done. Too neat that you are all enjoying a hobby together, and doing a darn good job of it.

Glad that healing is progressing nicely.

I might have another story for you to review since we do recognize the honor and courage of our allies as well as that of our own.

Shoot me the name BIGLOOK! I'm game!! :-)

I say 4th. Kathy says 3rd because she thinks her 1st place doesn’t count. :-)
