Sept 21, 1970 Monday

Dear Both of you,

It interests me very much. ^{(the letter material)} It goes along with all the other things. It is one thing, one special thing. ^{(I like to hear from you all)}

"Hi dad!" [refering to the surprise as I was sitting here Monday.] It was quite a surprise. Thank you very much for the type-writer. Haven't used it yet but I will be this weekend. I oriented myself on its use though.

Yes, the work/study keeps me pretty busy.

You know? That table service in the caf. at supper? They do push the chairs in for girls.

Mom, I can read your writting fine.

Tuesday was are first active Phys. Ed. day. Ran 50 yd. dash.

Threw softball. And ran 600 yd. run. I ran the 50 yd. dash. Of that was easy. And the guy calls out the time "6.2" seconds. Pretty good. I think it was the best in the class. Then I threw the softball 75 (I guess It must have been yds.) units. Oh the 600 yd. run. Well it took like about the first turn to make my way out in front of the pack then set a steady (after building up to it) pace. It was hard to keep. (I wanted to break 1:30 which was I think the best time so far out of the Phys. Ed. classes). Poured it on (what I had.) Came across. "1:29" says the timer.

It was a strange feeling when I tried to stop, or slow down. I was over the finish line, it felt, about a second before I thought I would be. Then I tried breaking my stride to slow down. That only set me off balance a bit. So I threw out or put out my arms. This worked to stabilize me but I still couldn't stop right away. I took awhile of kinda gliding along. Strange.

I have to get to the stadium now. Have a ^gym class in 20 min.

Bye. Love Mike

P.S. If you were wondering, and if I haven't told you yet, my philos. class has 31 in it [maybe 32.] But thats close enough.
