2 October - I went to "Stevens",
boy I had a swell time. "Wales" met. Joyce Merith and Jane Turner,
Bob --- Beautifu women. I wished Merle could have been there, he
sure could have had a time. There dances were very formal and a great
deal like Dansants. I don't believe I ever saw so many beautiful
women in my life. They sure did look smooth, and beautiful dresses.
I don't believe I shall ever forget how I grabbed Jane. I sure was
going good too. Plenty of good looking girls tagged me.
3 October - The band & Corp
