Dear Mr. and Mrs. Foran,<\/p>\n

I have been trying to find time to write this for the last several days. I certainly do want to thank you for the box of cookies and candy. They were really swell. By the way, my roommates seemed to enjoy them also so I am sure that they send their thanks.<\/p>\n

I hope you folks aren’t going through any of this hot weather. It has been hitting 115\u00b0 about every day for the past few weeks and the nights aren’t much better. I am glad I don’t have to go through much more of it.<\/p>\n

We finished our flying last Thurs. and will be leaving here in the very<\/span> near future probably for Santa Anna<\/a> but we won’t know that for certain till we get there. They flying went pretty well and the more I do the better I like it. We didn’t get to solo here but our last check ride wasn’t much different than a solo because the instructor just went along for the ride.<\/p>\n

It didn’t seem that Zoe got much of a vacation before summer school. I think she is getting anxious to graduate, of which I can’t blame her. She told me about working in the chem. dept. at school, it will probably be pretty good experience.<\/p>\n

I think you knew that Dad came out here. We had a good visit even though it was awful short. I only got a 25 hr. pass but he was anxious to get back because my Grandmother was sick when he left. However, I think she is alright now.<\/p>\n

I am going to have to make this letter short because it is almost time for taps and I have enough demerits already. Thanks again for the package.<\/p>\n

Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n

Tom<\/p>\n
