friends ,' are best
It's nice to : make ° a new
friend, but most members of
our species, , the ,. naked ape,'
agree that old friends' are the
best 'friends
Last week; I had the best' of
these two situations, and I am'

ished to'. be .alive to . report it.
The only thing. ,;,that. doesn't
seem •to be 'functioning : is ` my
liver; Must be in better .shape
than I thought: ' .
It : began with a three-day
visit front our old` friends, the
Traplins. We have one of these
reunions once a' Year, and . it
uspally takes a °'week ' to get
over them. Trap and I joined
the air:. force together.-. Peggy
' and Suse have always got;
• along well ' because they ;; have •.:
'the -,same interests:
They can talk for 20 hours
at a stretch. On Tuesday night :
they . went to bed'' . at 8:15.

were -doing? -he- university -=ac

very high. But they. were a;
