Dear Miss Blaney,
It was thoughtfully nice to be remembered by you and the Bryant Service Club this past holiday season.
The olive drab, heavy wool-knit sweater from the service club was one of the most appreciated gifts I received; coming as it did after and attack of pneumonia, that sweater was really a prize package and just "hit the spot." I'd like to extend my very sincere thanks to its maker, whoever she may be (--or was it a "he?").
Your "G. I. pup" greeting card was "militarily" amusing; you should have added a doghouse for the pup (that would have made us feel more at home).
You've probably noticed that I've moved again; this is an advanced radio school for the Army Air Force communication networks systems; the course is a relatively short one of seven weeks.
I was offered a polition as instructor at the Truax Field radio mechanics school from which I was graduated on Jan 9th.; however, as most others do, I turned it down since I'd rather keep moving.
Thanks again to you and to the Bryant Service Club; keep up your fine work and good luck.
Sincerely yours,
Roger Gaioni
