Some entertaining distractions were necessary for mental health then
and now. Popcorn and a movie doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. Thank you for sharing these letters - they are amazing.

I find that to be true about missing something you no longer have...I imagine many people would be happy to leave behind snow and cold weather in general.

Obviously he was popular, I guess it makes a big difference. In time such letters could be valued as history Naval wise.

Good Morning
I love these posts! They are so enjoyable to read. I think your son really knew how to have a good time. He really had a good attitude and made the best of whatever job he was picked for. I would have loved working in the mess hall. I wonder if they have certain people that are picked from day one to be in charge of the mess hall?

Good afternoon
Your son knew how to entertain for sure. Those old movies with a salty treat and a sweet treat would be a perfect night for those guys.
