Dear Mom Dad and all,
Its been another nice day. I finally made P.F.C. It took long enough. Ratings are just starting to come out good now. It shouldn’t take us long for Cpl.
Nothing new is happening over here. I think I’ll take the top off of my jeep. I already got the doors off.
I sure didn’t do much work today. Just changed oil in my jeep.
I sure wished R. could take my job. He would have it made. How is he getting along with the draft board?
Love,
V.

I still remember my Uncle R. yucking it up over the original Altman film M*A*S*H* when it came out (which I was too young to see).
ReplyDelete"That's how it really was" he said to my dad, taking another swig out of a can of beer.
That's how I learned about the grown-up movies back then. That and from Mad Magazine.
M*A*S*H was a documentary. So was "WAG THE DOG".
ReplyDeleteThis continues to be a great series.
