Carroll Steinbeck letters to parents, January-February, 1944

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 2

Since its nearly Valentines Day I guess it would be appropriate to ask you both to be my valentine. No kidding!
Yes, we still have our parties at the house. I sort of missed the last one though.
My room mates are ok. They are pretty swell fellows all the way round.
I'm not sure when I'll leave here. Maybe this week, maybe 3 or 4 yet. They don't tell us a thing. I'm still trying to decide whether I like the air corp well enough to try it. I will probably start sending things home some of these days just to make sure they don't catch me napping. They only give us about twelve hours notice before leaving.
Its not been so hot around here the past week. Been down to 5 or 10 below zero most of the time.
It looks like Richland will come out with a conference title if they aren't careful. I still think we had alot better team though.
I have to write Ken & Kay yet before I go to bed which won't be long the way I feel. Guess I'd better call this all for now.
Love
Carroll
