Hi Norma,
Your letter was postmarked in New Albany, Indiana, so I suppose you're enjoying another excursion. Wish I was there so we could do a little chasing around together.
[Editor's note: Norma's love of travel didn't end when she married Jim. One of his nicknames for her was "Go Parker."]
The was you describe those buses you rode reminds me of the trains on the Santa Fe route.
I had to move a cow to get a seat.
There were 250 big shots who came aboard today and we had to show them around. They are a lot of trouble and can ask some of the damnedest questions.
I made out tonight. I got the 8 to 12 flight deck watch. I don't have much to do, but I had still rather sleep.
Of course, honey, I would like you to snuggle up to me and if I had been on the bus, I wouldn't have let you get cold. I'm too much of a gentleman to let that happen to a lady. I would have given you my coat. HA
It seems I've seen this "Club Rialto" going from Detroit to Tennessee.
That floor show sounds like it was pretty good. I could go for something like that now.
"Yes," I know what "zombies" are and I know that it can knock you on your "stem-shut." I drank a few of them. I bet you were "hot to go" after them. I've seen how they affected women before. Whiskey works on me the same way, but beer is just the opposite. When I drink beer I'm not much of a guy to be out with.
But with a few mixed drinks under my belt, I can make any woman happy.
Well, baby, I've got to sign off.
Answer soon.
Love,
