Dear Dr. Miriam Thank you so much for being such a wonderful co-worker in SDD. And thank you for the three great letters in recent weeks. Though you would hardly guess it from my lapses in correspondence, you are nevertheless mentioned at all meetings of the center group and your letters shared with the men.
Francis loved bringing Mary Durak to your outing for the M D children. His wife Rita and my Nephew "Kerry" visited yesterday. Kerry is going to Fort Rix, N.J National Guard on August 23rd - 6 months basic training. It shall be his first time away from home & his mother is anxious, but he is a very sensible young man, so we really have nothing to worry about on that scale.

Prof. Fuchs is in Hawaii. He will be with us again
