21 JUNE 1969. 1st day of Summer. Dear Jack.

 Is Tillery O.K.?  I triple underlined: pray so. and give my love to Margaret Jean.
 "26 years in AA"  I celebrated 17 June.  That very day at Moscow Petrosian the Armenian became 40 - and lost his world chess smeared ink illegible to Boris Spassky, 32  a ½ Russ. ½ Jew.  In the USSR Jews are listed as a separate nationality.  Does a half-slav, half-Jew enjoy dual citizenship?
  Here is another significant date:  Eleven years ago today the last street car run in Chicago was piloted to a safe ending at Kentie and Clark by motorman Mannie McFall.  Mr. McFall was (is) a Caucasian.  The 1969 CTA busses are driven by Afro-Americans and the drivers and passengers are Robbed by the danker brothers also.
   Recently (31 May) we had a fine cemetery walk at Waldheim - and next-door, Forest Home.
