OCTOBER 9

     A hectic day indeed --- the big

Nimitz parade was scheduled to take

place -- and did -- but I got fouled

up on my personal schedule and

missed it completely.  Oh well, I

can tell my grandchildren, I stood

where the parade has passed.

    Dad doesn’t seem to feel too

well tonight -- such a long

drawn out process.

     Freddie sent a map of his

operations from D-Day till VE Day,

Bill Brennan wrote a nine

page (single typed) letter: - interesting

with occassional perks; and

Bill wrote a real sweet one

too – says he should be home by

Decoration Day: - he’d better be!!
