This has been a day of reunions. Last night I was so excited that I forgot to tell about getting Bess on the phone and telling her that we would be late. It certainly was thrilling to hear her voice. We came from Greenville into Columbus and a mighty slippery road. We got to Columbus and we did some shopping before we went out to see Bess so I would be presentable. The dress I got had to be altered so it was twelve before we got started for the Post. We drove around the Post before we found the house and believe me there was some hilarious greeting going on when Bess and I finally got together. Pop, Mom, and Mrs. and General Berry went to the club. But us kids ate at home. Bess and I talked furiously until four thirty and then we went swimming and I met quite a few of Bess’s friends. Before we went in we went downtown to get a cap for me. We got home from swimming about six thirty and Bess was going out to dinner at seven. I had dinner at the house and then went to the movies with Bill and then he took me over to the ROTC hop where we met Bess & friends.
Jane’s Notes: Columbus is on I-185 south from Atlanta. Bess was a friend from Manila whose father was in the Army and who transferred to Ft. Benning, GA.
