dc.description.transcription	4-22-45Dear Folks,You’ve heard of quickies and you’ve heard of quickies but this is going to top the list. I’m writing this just so I can send our latest crew picture. I think it is pretty good and there may be some more just like it for the rest of the family. You can let Amy have this one for my scrap book. This is the airplane we flew our missions in. We have a new one now. We are going to name it Double Trouble with two pretty women on it. Clever huh?It was seven minutes before lights out when I started this and I still have time to get the envelope addressed if I hurry.So good night for now,All my love,Joe
