Addressed to "Dad + Bee." Big news as he ran into Barry Marks' outfit and he's stationed only a few miles away. "If that doesn't prove it's a small world, I'll eat my hat." He visited with Barry and his tent-mates who all complained about the "rotten deal that marines get" but none of them would leave the service. He believes this life is doing Barry a "world of good." He went on another mission, which was tougher than the last, but everything worked out. Conditions are getting better as they build the site up. He closes out asking about Don as he hasn't heard from him in a while.
