1 Hi Stevie,

Finally heard from your brother after two and a half weeks of phone and puter silence.
He wrote us yesterday, and called us last evening.
He's been quite busy (if he tells us 'doing what'
I guess he'd have to shoot us...) He says he'll
be less busy for a little while.. Please tell your
wonderful correspondents that he has gotten a ton of notes from them wishing him and his fellow Marines well. He says he'll have a heck of a time replying to all of them (well...maybe the large busted young ladies with somewhat questionable moral standards have an edge...)because the Marines seem to think they have dibs on his time. But the corrospondence is much appreciated! Thank all of them so much...
