You’ll be glad to hear that Nick is heading home to Michigan in just a few days and plans to spend many quality hours in his fishing boat.

In wartime for many the alternating hyper-alertness and boredom the psyche calls for relief. If your book had been available then, I probably would have memorized it. I hope Nick gets back to western MIchigan without too much of the baggage of war.
