A Western "Opry" at the movies and the boys out en masse. Never had a bigger crowd in the evening. The snow was gone and the evening sky was Spring. Jimmie stood outside the door with me and talked for an hour - then later an hour and a half in the mess over coffee. Each time is more wonderful. But he's taking away the feeling that I'm in England. It's back to Delaware County, Ohio - I'm 16 - he's back from college for Spring vacation. How can such things be?
