Dear Family,
Hi! Hope all is well with you all. I just got done writing a letter to Mrs. Schamaun -- I had gotten a letter from her yesterday.
Last night as planned, we went into [Portland] to see "The Cross and the Switch-blade. It was really good! Before the movie we went to a Taco House and got a complete meal full of "Hot" food.
Now, before we went to eat we went to the air-port. I checked about coming home. I have made a reservation for Friday December 18 -- I will be leaving Portland at 12:30 A.M. and will get into Dayton at 10:50 A.M. Now, get this. I have two exams scheduled for Friday. I will arrange with the teachers about taking the exams early. This is OK -- I have already checked. I did try to get a reservation for Friday aft or evening. But they were all full. Except for first class! Even the flights going on Saturday & Sunday are full. (except again for first class!) The man that I talked to was very nice and he said I would have to wait till Monday. So I told him I would go on Thursday. Now, I will be flying home excursion rate. I also have a reservation to fly back to Oregon on Jan. 4 -- the 4:00 flight like I took out of Dayton in September.
I will get ¼ off because of flying excursion. But it is still $201.00. I need this before Dec 5th because I told them I would pick up my ticket by then. $201 is alot cheaper than flying coach fare. Coach fare is $250 round-trip. Of course stand-by is only $150 but just forget that figure over Christmas!
I will be needing some money -- like $200. Now, I do have some money but I will need it between now and Christmas -- especially over Thanksgiving. I would deeply appreciate you all sending me about $200 before too long so I can go to the air-port and pick up my ticket & all.
OH also if I flew after Friday afternoon (after 12:00 noon) -- I wouldn't be able to fly the excursion rate.
This week-end is future freshman week-end. When we got in last night at 12:00 we found 3 girls in our room. They aren't even serious about coming here. They must come because its a free ride! Doesn't cost them a thing. They expect us to entertain them. Not only that but they had us up till after 3:00 AM this morning and then up again at 7:00 this morning. I couldn't believe it!!
Well, I better close now for I want to finish my term paper -- my History one on John Wesley.
I did pick up some more Avis buttons last night.
Got Church newsletter in the mail today. Something must be wrong with Aunt Mary -- I always get her carbon copy on Saturday and today I didn't.
We are up to the war of 1812 in History -- in fact we are up to the election of 1816! Term of Monroe! WOW!
Got to go. Will write more when I hear from you all. All of my classes are going fine -- I sure dread those exams I'm saving my nerve pills till then. HA! Love, Bert
