There has been quite a lot of flying at SHAAF this past weeks so have been kept busy when on duty.
Am taking some of the fellows for an airplane ride Sunday. We are renting a plane at the municipal airport for the afternoon.
The WASP are having a reunion at Dallas, Texas, November 3rd and 4th. Maybe things will turn out so I can get there at least for one day. Would like to see my flying pals again. Of course I correspond with a few of the girls, but it is impossible to keep in touch with all of them.
[?] people seem to have gone mad since the war ended. Suppose you have been reading about the strikes we are having. The telephone employers ever went on strike for higher wages. I believe in organized labor if handled intelligently but I am absolutely against strikers.
The industries are busy reconverting their plants to peace time production. With strikes to contend with and the reconversion work, they have their hands full.
Did you read the article in Reader’s Digest, Sept. issue, entitled “Eight things to do about the Soviet Union”? I thought it was very good.
