FLORENCE ARMY AIR FIELD – FLORENCE, S.C. DATED 1-30-44
Dear Folks –
I just came in from two hrs. formation flying and my pilot told me to take the rest of the day off so naturally I didn’t argue with him. I stayed out till about 4:30 last night and I’ve really been sleepy all day. My girl and I went to a dance in Florence and then we attended a party at her girl friends home afterwards.
I am really glad to hear that everyone is getting better at home now. I guess I’ll have to get a three day pass if I get home before I leave the States. They have quit giving gunners furloughs just lately. I was planning on going to Nebraska if I had h a fifteen day furlough but I guess that’s out.
Is C.K. still out home? I bet he’s having a good time out there to. I sure wish I could be there with him.
I should draw flying pay this month but I’m not sure about it yet. It is like working on a job. They keep a months pay back all the time. But I was on permanent flying status in December & I should get $39 flying pay this month.
Did Lindsey ever send you any of the pictures he took of us while I was at home. I’d love to see some of them.
Will you send me Lee’s picture (the large one) sometime in the near future.
Well I don’t know any news so I’ll close for now. Write me & I hope you are all well by now.
Love
Toots
