My Dearest “Prisoner of Zelda”
Actually I feel fine (great) and I’m not in any hospital bed, as you probably guessed. Just feel like being corny. Things have been going pretty smooth here. We had a test (te quiero) in combat intelligence today and I earned a cool 91. Third in the class behind a 93 and a 92.
17:00 I don’t feel so good now. I just came back from chow and ( te adoro) I found out that I have P&P Saturday. I won’t be able to be with you but I will call you about 19:00 hours. I love you. It’s been 49 hours since I last saw you and I am going crazy already. I miss you something awful. I spoke to my mother yesterday and found out that she had a party planned for my sister’s birthday Saturday. She asked me to bring you along. I love you.
Today we started to do some introductory work in our specialty. We got instruments of all kinds besides a few lectures and ( te amo) some practical work, most of which was easy. Tomorrow we start doing some drafting and math, a very simple type used to measure distances and objects in photos, as simple as possible. We learn to use special type of slide rule which I haven’t figured out yet.
Well sweetheart, I can’t think of any more idiotic phrases to scribble down so I’ll relieve you of this agony and finish here.Take care of your cold and be sure to see a doctor. Give my best to Marty, Mickey, Mom and Dad and last but not least ( although the littlest) Bambi. Thank your Mom and Dad for having such a wonderful girl to turn over to me.
Love Always,
Your Superman,
Alberto
Prisoner of Zelda is a take off on Prisoner of Zenda which is what I was when I was with him. He wouldn't let me out of his sight.
Not sure what P & P meant at that time. Some military term not used any more.
Next letter October 13th.
WHAT WAS HAPPENING?
The Yanks won the World Series
Top Movie: Splendor in the Grass is released. I was living it.
