Everyone says that they took
advantage of their five days off
the Fourth and had a lovely time.
Stewart Gash informed me this
morning that he misses a certain
girl’s singing on graveyard.
Willoree, we didn’t know you
liked carnivals so well. Or could
it have been that soldier you were
with?
Well, that’s about all for this
month. See you next month!
