December 23, 1942
Dear friends,
I want to thank you for the two boxes of candy which you sent me awhile back. The boys and myself made short work of them. I was happy to know I was still remembered.
I also received the school papers and I will say they did recall some remembrances of those college days. It was quite impressive to know that so many of the boys from school are in the service. I, for one, can say that my schooling is helping me get ahead. You can be sure that I’m learning a lot more, though it may not all come under the head of schooling.
Marty Shapiro
Class of ‘42
