1 Oct 1956

30 Sept 56

Hi Honey,
By now I guess Bob Browning has called you. We sent the MARSGRAM to him since we couldn’t send it to you girls direct.
We got in Thursday and processed Friday morning. We still don’t have a mail box number but use this address until I can get my box number:

 Rank, Name
Class 56-C, Air Weapons Course
AC&SC
Maxwell Air Force Base
Alabama

Friday we went to town and got the license plates and an Alabama Driver’s License. Both will be mailed to us at home. The plates can be put on effective 1 Oct 56. Total cost was $4.50 for plates and registration and $1.50 for my drivers license. Everything is legal and we now have a car registered and tagged in Ala. Here is the Colo registration card plus a receipt for the new tags. Jack will put them on for you but keep the old Colo tags in the basement. We can’t throw them away until the 57 Colo tags come out.

Cass and I have gathered about 35 lbs of pecans which we are drying out and we’ll bring them back with us. You’ll have enough nuts to cook with this year for sure. Friday nite we went to the coast and stayed in the VOQ at Eglin AFB. Fished Saturday and had dinner with the Greenies Sat nite. Came home this morning to get ready for school. We caught a bunch and game them to Bob and Marie. They are receiving a thank you not tomorrow. See – I remembered!

We have used our credit card for gas and oil so don’t get shocked when the bill comes in – we will get 2/3rds of it back from Cass and Meil.

The weather is hot and sticky and rough on clothes – I can see a stiff laundry bill.

Since I have the small checkbook here I have entered the $20 we had separate into it. So each pay transfer from the big book $25 more to me on paper. I will let you know when I cash me. So far I don’t anticipate it for another 10 days yet.

We are looking forward to a good course but won’t know until tomorrow. May go to a movie tonite.
How was your coffee? Hope you had a good time. I miss you like the devil – its going to be a rough 7 weeks believe me. Tell the kids to be good and do what they are told. Take care of yourself, honey.

All my love,
Hubby
