Had a little rain today. Things are dull here in port. Wish I would meet some one from home. Received 24 letters. Feel great. Dorothy wrote plenty and so did mom
Open in the diary →Nice weather. Arrived in Port at 0700. Refueled and took on ammo. Left port at 1630 in route to Manas in the Admiralies. Us and the Tingey are escorting the Iowa. This sure isn’t a very good Christmas. Received word mom is seriously sick. I pray to god she is okay.
Open in the diary →Nice weather. Really worried about mom. Hope she is getting better. Our dinner today was pretty nice. Now is the time they are opening presents at home. I sure feel lonesome today. Received some swell pictures of Dort.
Open in the diary →Nice weather. Formed Javalin and had battle maneuvers. Hope mom is getting better. Thought a lot about Dorothy.
Open in the diary →Very nice weather. Plenty of transfers in but no SM. Can’t make up my mind whether I would want a transfer or not. Recieved mail also word that mother is feeling better and that is the best news I could get. Also recieved a letter from Dorothy! Boy! What a gal. I’m one of the luckiest guys in the world to have a girl like her.
