Dear Family,Hi! Thanks alot for the letter, check, stamps & newspaper articles today.
After the phone call last night I suppose you all have heard that I was accepted for this summer. It was sure a surprise to get that news yesterday in the mail. They are to send me a list of what all I'll need. I'm wondering if I'll need a sleeping bag -- and what all else.
Pam & Cindie have not been accepted yet. But I don't think Cindie will go now if she does get accepted. She wants to go to Scotland next year.
I got a post-card today from Mrs. Schamaun -- from Athens Greece. Oh brother.
I doubt if I will take the course next term at Portland Community. I want to -- but I don't specially want to strain my brain. Also -- though good back-ground I'm not sure if it will transfer. I am going to keep the text-book as I think it is a good one.
I want to sell some of my textbooks but school's book-store won't buy used books till in May. Not really sure why. I will need 4 new books next term. One for personality, one or two for Speech, one Poetry book for English & also a small hand-book for archery.
Oregon is having RAIN STORMS!!
Don't have any idea who Mrs. Hinshaw's niece is here -- Will have to work on that.
The article of the teen-age Iowa girl as a narcotics agent was very interesting.
In fact, Newberg has had an under-cover cop working with drugs. Had a raid about a week & a half ago & got 28 arrests of possession & etc. Was Big News -- on T.V. etc.
John, how is your physical fitness?
I wrote Aunt Mary & all yesterday that I was accepted. First time I had ever mentioned it to them.
Will see Cindie about her home address. I want no delay in my mail!!
Thanks again for everything.
Love,
Bert
P.S. Will enclose letter from the Indian Mission. Please keep letter. You might tell Rev. Lynd I got accepted & thank him.
