Are doing some range shooting. Some fun. I am going back to school next wk. for two wks. So don't be disappointed if you don't hear from me often. I will be awful busy. I am feeling fine now. Got the rest of those stamps today. Many thanks. Will try to pay you back some day for all these sacrifices which I appreciate more than words can explain. As ever yours with lots of love & kisses Willard
