Fla, Apr. 27:
1 have been transferred from
Cleveland, Ohio, diesel school to
Miami, Fla. It's beautiful here, a
wonderful vacation land. There is
a great amount of excitement here
and anything you could want to do.
One striking feature here is cars
for rent with gas furnished. They're
expensive to rent, but to some money
is no factor.
I have been out to Miami Beach.
It's nice there and you can have fun.
We live in hotels taken over by the
navy and they are quite nice. But
l prefer a barracks any time.
At this time 1 too would like to
express my thanks for the paper.
l like many others, enjoy it greatly. !
