[Kathy in Alaska]

I ended up in the hospital at Fort Thomas, Ky. with a case of the Mumps. After two weeks in the hospital I went back to Lexington, but had to wait another week to get in sync with the right subject. While in bed in the hospital one day, I heard someone yell 'halt'. After the second shout, there was the sound of a shotgun blast That stopped the party that should have halted. If he survived, I don't know. Upon completion of the school, I was shipped, by train, to a Replacement Center at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana. I don't know the vintage of the train, but it had kerosene lamps hanging from the ceiling.

Damn! That would make for an interesting day.

Kerosene lamps in trains?

OSHA would have a heartattack and fine you $70,000 these days.

Interesting times.

Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.
