Dearest Catherine,Was really good news to find two letters form you at the Post Office this evening – one written Sunday and one on Monday.
Serena had quite a time with her envelopes last night. She had tried to make one out of a magazine ad and then was a bit miffed when I said I was afraid the post office wouldn't take the one she used as an inner envelope.
Garner Ted Armstrong is blaring in one ear and its a little hard to concentrate. Decided to try your faithful WCKY.
That was quite a Sunday and glad it turned out so well. Evan the Baptist sounds very nice. Your Sunday letter was the first mention of him and I doubt the last even though your reserve his last name for a future time. Don't even remember hearing of Thom before, not to mention his wild envelopes. Glad to hear Dave is still in there pitching. Perhaps I'd better pitch some stamps his way – after all he's got a long hard struggle ahead of him.
Did I tell you the Amer. Stationary Co. said they would correct their mistake (on Grandma's stationary). Too bad we didn't have your room number on yours but perhaps you'll get to stay in the sophomore part & finish it up.
How did you like the Methodist Church? Any sign of a Wesley Foundation? They are ordering "gold cards" which Mrs. Hughes is to send to proper place concerning Methodist college students. This was all brought up at WSCS tonite (at Caryl Lou Allen's).
Mrs. Noble had quite a program on UNICEF – timely but after she finished it she produced another type projector with about 50 slides of Eugene's trip to Korea & her trip to the United Nations and a few of the Grand Canyon (part of Faye & Eugene's honeymoon). For some reason the projector wouldn't work for her and we only saw the first four – never touching land but view of or from the jet during take off. We were al quite relieved after she finally gave up – reminded me of our experience last spring. Timing! [or Tiring!]
We are getting ready for the New Life Mission (Evangelistic services) beginning next Sunday evening. We are to house Rev. Perkins (he's the father of Arnold, Greg Schamaun's friend). Guess we'll give him the choice of your room or Roberta's though Rev. Beers suggested the Guest House out back [the play house?!?] He had originally said he (Rev. P.) could stay with them.
Your art course sounds most intellectual so I'll expect you to replace all our "paint by number" with ___________ or maybe some of your originals.
Roberta is doing ceramics for six weeks – next 6 weeks she's to do weaving. Or perhaps each runs 12 weeks.
Mrs. Drake was asking about you tonite. (Heavens, Garner Ted came on this station! Back to WLW, quick! Music til dawn is a happy relief.)
Daddy is to be gone for the Mother's Club Guest Night so I've invited Wilma & we're to go to the Lafayette – near Washington Court House. I suggested I could invite Elton Haskell, Raymond Elliot or Virgil Moriarity (sp?) but he wasn't a bit jealous. Wilma even offered Dan. It's tomorrow night (Wed.) by the way.
Grandma says we have relatives living in Kalamazoo but she doesn't know their name now. They have visited the Stockwells (Hillsboro furniture people) so we may find out their name eventually.
Any other repercussions from your wild envelopes? What are you doing in Phys Ed – any choice – I read the catalog & seemed to me it was primarily calisthenics.
The mail must take about 3 days, but your letter written Monday after PE – really flew.
Roberta brought home a real elaborate bus schedule & it only takes 12 hours from Kalamazoo via Indianapolis to Dayton. You can fly it in three hours by either changing in Detroit or Fort Wayne to Cincinnati.
It's getting LATE and I have to have more than six hours – I'm past 19.
We do look forward to your letters! And details.
Love and XXXXXXXXXX
Mother
