ARLENE, I AM SURE YOU PROBABLY DON'T REMEMBER ME, BUT I FIRST MET YOU WHEN I CAME TO BARSTOW TO SEE JIM WHEN HE WAS STATONED IN BARSTOW, AT THE MARINE BASE THERE. (JIMMY) AND I WERE VERY BEST OF FRIENDS WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL. I WILL NEVER FORGET THE GREAT TIMES WE HAD WHILE IN SCHOOL. TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY, AFTER THE BALL GAME AT THE BASE, JIM AND I HAD A FEW DRINKS AND HE TRIED TO BUTCHER A CHICKEN WITH A STRAIGHT RAZOR. THE BLADE BROKE IN SEVERAL PLACES, AND I THINK THE CHICKEN WAS THROWN OUT. THE NEXT DAY YOU AND JIM DROVE ME TO LONG BEACH TO MY SHIP. AN ABSOLUTLY GREAT TIME, AND MEMORY. I WILL MISS JIM VERY MUCH. HOPE YOU AND YOUR WONDERFULL FAMILY ARE ALL WELL'
A LONG TIME FRIEND,
