1968 Roberta's Letter -May 22

[postmarked August 22, 1968]
Dear Family,

Hi!  Got your long letter today along with news clips.  Thanks.

Today I got a card from all the women at the shop.  It said: "The Thought of you There & me HERE makes my eyes all red & watery!"  Then inside it said "I think I'm allergic to your absence!"  It was signed by all the women at the shop & Ralph Trenary & Arthur Vance.  Grandad even signed it too & beside his name it said – "I work here."

I also got a Geometry quiz back today with 80% right.  Pretty good, huh? I'll include it.  I must admit – things are looking up in Geometry.

Do you remember where I got my shoes in Columbus.  It's a "special" in sizes 10-13.  Anyway, I got a birthday card & a sales card like of their's & it says "Happy Birthday – Bring this card in for a 10% discount on your next pair of Russell's Shoes."  Russell's is the name of the place.)  I think I will put the card in with this letter or I'll probably lose it.  Don't you guys go & lose it now, OK?

I've been getting alot good out of my typewriter.  Irene is using it now typing her term paper or I would probably be using it myself.

WRITE!

Love,
Bert

P.S.  My hair is actually starting to grow back in!  I don't think I need to go to the specialist in Cinn. or anything.

[on the envelope]  I got alot of water in my watch (by accident) last (a week ago) Monday.  It's still there but the watch still works.  Should I take it to a jeweler or ???
