Xmas Day
Dear Mom, Dad, and Snapper
Yesterday I finished my last day of school. We had tests all day. I think I did OK on them.
Last night Zink, Semonie and I went back to the 5th. Semonie’s mother sent him a lot of Italian food and we ate that. I didn’t stay up till . I went to bed around . I got up this morning and ate breakfast. There was some snow on the ground. I fooled around most of the day. The guys said I was squad leader now of the 2nd squad. I won’t know for sure till I go back. They changed all the squads around. My squad leader made Sgt and is Section Leader now. I will have to wait till I get back and see what the out come will be.
We had a big dinner today, just like Thanksgiving. There were about 15 Korean kids there. They ate and then were given presents. Each one got a package. I didn’t see any of the things you said you sent but I rather think they had everything. The kids were about 6 to 10 years old. (note: I was 6, I wonder what Dad felt. Did he feel any great compassion for the kids since they were my age, did he miss me a lot, don’t know, he has not said so as of yet.)
I came back to the school about and haven’t done much of anything since. The guys said I made honor student but so far I haven’t bee able to find out. I did good on most of my tests. I got the highest score on my PT than anyone. I made 99 out of 100. Just missed one point. I did OK on a lot of the other tests too. If I did make honor student I just made it. I think the guys said there were 6 who made it. Tomorrow I will know for sure. We have our graduation.
Haven’t had any mail for a few days. So don’t know much of what is going on at home.
Sgt Hill and Sgt Gretizen left about a week ago for some so they may be calling you up.
Have you gotten your packages yet? Well Xmas was a little different this year but It was OK. Next year I’ll be home. Happy New Year and lots of love.
Love, Ted
