DEAR MR. GULSKI:
THINGS ARE FINE HERE IN ENGLAND. HOW IS PROVIDENCE?
I HEAR VIA THE GRAPEVINE THAT MOST OF THE OLD GANG ARE SCATTERED TO ALL FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH INCLUDING THAT PROUD PRODUCT OF THE IRISH RACE, NAMELY HENRY A LEE. WITH THE GRACE OF GOD WE MAY ALL GET TOGETHER AGAIN FOR A GOOD OLD FASHIONED LUNCH HOUR CHAT.
SAW BUD EMMONS AND TONY LANCELOTTI ON THE WAY OVER A FEW MONTHS BACK.
JERRY'S BOMBINGS HAVE INCREASED SOME OF LATE BUT TO NO AVAIL. NO ONE TAKES THEM SERIOUSLY AND IT IS JUST ANOTHER SIGHT TO SEE AS FAR AS WE AMERICANS ARE CONCERNED.
THE WEATHER HERE IS NOT BAD OF LATE BUT FOR A WHILE IT WAS PLENTY WET WITH MUCH SNOW.
GIVE MY REGARDS TO ALL AND PLEASE TELL THE PUBLICITY DEPARTMENT MY WHEREABOUTS.
HOPE TO BE BACK SOON.
Dave
