dc.description.transcription	8-30-44Dear Folks,To the tunes of Frankie Sinatra I’ll drop you a briefline. There honestly isn’t anything new to tell, -pictures shows in the morning and P.T. in the afternoon. We go to a role call at 0800 every morning to see if we are put on the alert and sure enough I haven’t been yet. It is bound to happen in the next couple of days.Tonight is the night of the All Star football game and I am staying home and listening to it. I am betting on the All Stars so you’ll know how I made out by the time you get this.The game is getting ready to start now so I’ll quit for now.Lots of love,Joe
