    Yes, I hope we can get together before the iceman cometh, and you can meet the kids.  I read of Rich. Wright (he seemed Uncle Tomish in later years, not like Langston Hughes & Paul Robeson) - and Robt. Forsyth's sensa  [sic] humor will be missed.  I had a mild heart slow down - some kind of block - doctor said he didn't see how I got into Army (for 41 months no less!) - he says it should pass away if I "take it easy" - with two kids and a lousy job - they're still picking on me as a former "security risk" - I can't seem to wangle a promotion or a change of job - my lawyer says the Gov't is to blame for my heart condition, but underlined:  that doesn't pay any do-re-mi.  Haven't heard from Sevenson - I worry about him - he had heart trouble couple years ago and his flower-shop business was only going fair.  Enjoyed your clippings - will reciprocate.  Did I send you a card?  Ever hear from Enigma Ellington Curtis?  Dale Kramer?

Best to you all, Jack
