Hello Lover Gal,
Decided I ought to write you a little note on one of these things as you could see what this brave little vessel of ours looks like. Cute little boat isn't it?
The son of a gun sure is doing a lot of nose diving. You can see that anchor in the picture and that thing has been under water more than out of it today. We really are having a rough ride. And that wind is blowing about 200 miles an hour, more or less. But old salty dog Welch is taking it like a veteran.
Let's see now there was something special I wanted to say in this and now I've forgotten what it was. Oh, Happy Anniversary Baby and Merry Valentine's Day too. Have a couple beers on me to celebrate the event. Or if you'ld rather, wait till I get back and we'll celebrate it then together.
By the way, how is dear little old Sparkey? And does the little dear miss me or her missing parts the most?
Gee, I sure have been knocking myself out with this writing business. I've written to Ma, Nick Zobenica, Eddie Glynm, Herb, Joe (Brudder Moon that is), and you also various and sundry times. I hope I can keep up this magnificent job of communication but I bet I get lazy pretty soon. Besides a guy doesn't always have this much spare time. But I promise to try to keep you well informed at all times. Well honey guess this is all for now. Just wanted you to know I hadn't forgotten all the little things a man is supposed to forget.
Your loving old man, Bill
