  20 March, 1961

  Dear Mama and Daddy,

  There was a most pathetic scene at the airport just as your plane left: One of the last people to get on the plane was a young man who was reluctant to bid adieu to his lady love, a tall, heavily made up, dyed hair wench. As the plane started to taxi away, this female dissolved in tears. Somehow it seemed incongruous to me to see a dame who looked like this one behaving like that.

  Lucy and I and, of course, the girls were most tickled to see you in our little house. It is too bad that Mt. Baker wasn't out, but perhaps when you come next the weather will be better. Perhaps the course of your suit will be such that you and Peter will be here at the same time next summer. Wouldn't that be fun?

  The birthday party for Uncle George was a great success. He was surprised speechless, he didn't have much to say all evening, which as you know is unusual for him. I think that he was really touched; I knew that he was the one who would appreciate the most such a party. There were eight of your siblings there; I was Ava's baby for an evening! Besides George, there was L. Gorgo, Clay and Nettie B., Milton and Dorcas, Nettie, Mary and her husband, Lillian (Dick) and her husband, and mirabile dictu, Aunt Pat! I was certainly surprised to see Pat, and had a good time talking to her. Unfortunately for us, she ran off to Oregon the next day, before we could have her over to supper. But she sort of half promised to come back, since her airplane ticket is Seattle-Philadelphia. She told me to scold you for not being here.

  I told George what you had told me about his specs...I think that he was tickled about that, too. He wondered how you knew he needed them. I told him that you had asked me to keep an eye on him to be sure that he gets them, and I offered to find out about a Doctor for him.

  I am going to try brewing some home-brew. Home-brew costs about six or seven cents a quart, and if it is any good and if one can borrow the crock, which I have, one ought to be able to save a little money.

  Love from us all
