School ' s going okay. I ' ve got a 2.66 at midterms. Thanks for all the let- ters. And the chow packages. The Ex-lax chocolate chip cookies worked fine. So did my squad lead- er later! How about that football team! Have you been reading in the paper? Penn State, Syracuse, Michi- gan, etc. I could ' ve cried after the Vanderbilt game. That field goal at- tempt was good! Oh well. This place is really getting up now for Army. It ' s really amazing. I ' ve never seen spirit like this. Pret- ty soon we ' re going to go over the wall! There ' s all kinds of projects and posters going up already. It ' ll be great if we win. When we win! No, so far I don ' t have a date. One of the 2 c tried to set me up with his sister but I politely de- clined. I think I ' ll just go out with some of the guys and maybe stop in at the Brigade Mixer. See you on the tube Terry jJL T I— i 9

31 August 1%7 Dear Mom and Dad, It was great to see you again. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Thanks espe- cially for not mentioning Kathy. Things got pretty hectic around here after you left. I guess they didn ' t want us to have any time to start thinking about the week- end. We had this thing called a snowflake drill. First, we had to bring around all of the clothes that we owned (except both sets of sweat gear, which we were wearing) and then we had to bring all of our locker clips around too. They did this for all three pla- toons in the company which Is over a hun- dred guys. They made us empty all of the stuff in this big humongous five man room over on the other side of the wing, and then they mixed it all up. After that, all of us crowded in, all over the place, and they closed the doors and windows and turned on the hot water in the shower and sink. Then we started doing exercises. They weren ' t very tight about it, and it got to be pretty hilarious when they yelled for every- body to start doing pushups. Have you ever tried to do pushups on someone else ' s back, with two more guys on yours and everybody laughing? To put it bluntly, it was a riot. After it was over we had to sort it all out and put it away before taps. We didn ' t make it. In fact, we were up half the night getting it done. Oh well! We ' ve got town liberty over the Labor Day weekend, and we ' re getting set to move into our Academic year rooms. I ' m still rooming with John, but we ' ve got Bill Smithson in with us. We ' re looking forward to the return of the Brigade with mixed emotions. The going ' s supposed to get pret- ty rough again but I think it ' ll be O.K. Write soon. Terry m

4 Dec ember 1967 Hi! We won! Carry on til Christmas! I ' m so happy I could cry. Which is exactly what some of the firsties did. It was their first victory over army too! After was good loo. We got bombed and met some girls and almost missed the bus but had a good time anyway. Now I can ' t wait until Christmas. Please send me a list of stuff to get for presents. I really don ' t know what to get. And, if you can spare it, I could use some extra money too. The monthly insult only goes so far, even with the extra they give us. Well, back to the books.
