basketball games. I can just see [Tresmonts?] face turn one shade darker red. 
Was I ever surprised to hear that Bud McWurlen was married.
The poen you sent was swell dad. I put it in with the one mom sent about being 21. Don't know if I mentioned getting it or not but I have a heck of a time trying to remember everything. I also got the Xmas cards mom. They were swell.
From the sound of things, you have really been having the cold weather there. Its snowy here now, but right at present it isn't too cold.
You and your hunting sprees have nothing on me. The other day my Sgt and I saw a chicken on the loose in the woods so we shot it with his rifle and proceeded to eat the son of a gun. Wasn't bad either. 
Sure hope Ken doesn't have to move at this stage of the game. He has been so darned lucky so far.
The news is certainly sounding better again. Hope it continues.
