Beautiful sun when we got up this morning. Thinking of Zack. I hope things go along okay today for him. He has a job to go to now. Zak got home today and got his clothes, got things taken care of at the National Guard over to Norway. He had a good steak supper at Betty and Walt’s. We was very glad to see him, he likes his job and is pleased to be earning money. I hope all goes well with him. He done all of it on his own. Zack left to go back at about 7:30 PM. I hope and pray he has very good luck.
