was drawn went out to the Nation

would make as good soldier as
he had son."

for furniture when his number
rolled over the radio waves.

Neither Sally nor I would give a
thought to anything but accepting
our responsibility. We want to raise
a family here and it's up to us to do
everything we can to make this the
right kind of world to raise a fam

not speaking idly. Last April 18, at
the hospital at Fort Bragg, one Rob-

for the first time.
That's about where things stand
right now. The Robert Bells and
