April 3, 1931 - Friday

I seem to have forgotten to say that I got a letter from Dick exam week. I answered it last night. I saw Connie and she says MyraBelle and Fred will be here in the fall. I saw the best show tonight with Jeanne & Jane.

George's letter home.

Dear Folks,

You have never seen such beautiful weather, all the girls are wearing spring ensembles and the boys stand around holding their breath. Not me though ---no---not me!

Jim Deyendorf and I played handball with two professors today and beat them two games to one. Gee, they were real good; and we were so tired afterwards that we could hardly leg it home.

My house bill is fifty-three, ninety-four this month. No more phone calling for little cotton unless he reverses the charges.

We pledged two keen boys last week. Bob Brim from Glendale, California, and Stan Haberlach from Clackamas, Oregon. This new Bob makes the fourth in the lodge.

Paul Austin has had his operation, and I go to visit him everyday. He feels great, although a little sore. Today the nurse gave Eddy Field and I a big piece of cake and an orange eggnog apiece. Boy, all nurses can’t be so bad after all.

This new pledge form California is a Christian Scientist, and we are going to church Easter, together. Have a happy Easter yourselves and thanks for the films

Love, George

Jane's Note: Stan Haberlach became one of Dad’s oldest friends and one that survived well into their elderly years. Stan went through ROTC with Dad and was also stationed at Ft. Knox during the war when my parents were there.
