Dear Grandma,

Hi!  We're here on the plains Illinois prairie having a good time.  Eureka has about 2500 people so it's slightly larger than N.V.  There is also Eureka College and I guess Ronald Reagen went to college here.

We really appreciated the Christmas money.  We put it right to work by buying two records and going out to dinner at a place called Mr. Steak.  There's still some money left -- maybe we'll buy some dogfood.  Ha!

Tell Marianne and Larry, Cris and Rob "Hi" for us.  We'll be thinking about you all on Christmas.

Love,
Catherine & Dick
