Dear Mom and Dad,             Feb. 19 [1971]

It's Friday. Yes, Thank God. Good time to write a letter. I've been getting all the letters from home. Got the last one today. Got the draft classification the other day, thank you. It seems like I've gotten a lot of letters. Maybe because I haven't written and feel guilty. Feelings. Sometime we could do without them or without making an issue over them. Time's been going relatively fast too. There have been lots of things to do... Classes, studying, reading (trying to get a firm basis at beginning of a term is good, I think). Maintenance work, and track practice started yesterday (for me). Actually it started 2 days ago. No sweat

however. I just kinda didn't get informed until the 2nd day of practice. I'm a little sore now in the arms and legs but my stomach is in fairly [might be a better word [than quite] not sure yet, never can be sure] good shape. 

They only did calesthetics the first day. Ran about half mile 2nd day just to lossen [sic] up between the 2 sets of exercises. Ran ^approx 1 1/2 mile today. We do jumping jacks, toe touches, situps, pushups, hoping on one foot, leg raises, bicycle exer., cherry picking, windmills, hurdler exers., and variations of some of these. Such as diff. type of toe touching. Do 'em more than once too. More than one set. Today was a little "easier" ^{(less exer. but I was a little sore)} than yesterday. 

I'll Write more after I get back from another Lycoming free movie "The Silencers" Dean MArtin as Matt Helm something like James Bond almost 7:00 That's when it starts

Well, I'm going to have to get some rest pretty soon. Get up early to go to work. I've been getting up 7:30 to quarter to 8 lately on weekdays. Don't have classes untill 9:00 so I eat breakfast as late as I can. I've been going to bed early 8:00 the last two nights. I don't need that much sleep all the time, last night I didn't need it. Toss and turned a bit. I stayed up late most of last week. There was a program "Human Relations Workshop" last week. I don't know if you get the paper, the "Bell," but there is something in there about it. The workshop was good I went to most of the lectures and movies. Topics discussed were abortion, Homosexualism, dating patterns, interpersonal relationships, sexual aspects of marriage etc.          David Frye,

a comedian, was here last Friday. Saw him admission free. He's Jewish and rather short. He impersonated lots of actors and L BJ and Nixon. He's been on TV before. I saw him, I think, on Smothers Brothers. He should be getting on TV more now.

Schedule:

These are the evening classes.

I have ^Mr. Rife ^{(he should be listed in the Alumni magazine, he's pretty good)} for Eng. instead of Sawyer. Sawyer must have filled up and over flowed. More to come. Love, Mike
