Well, tempus fugit, and I must be offi I must be to go to all this trouble just to check up on the class of 1948. I must stop at the school to pick up my little boy Jerry Junior. He isn't doing too well in school this yeare His teacher, Shirley Heiman keeps sending home the same problem with him for arithmetic homee work.
