 you made it home from nam you helped everybody you could you were a great brother you always babbied along with bob  but you teased me alot too. like making me get get up in the morning on sat. telling me it was fri a school day. dad and you got real close when you went to work at bethlehem steel  mom enjoyed listenning to you both talk about bethlehem .then you went to nam dad worried everyday  so upset i cant even tell you how hard it was for ma dad me and bob  he had left home him and elaine lived in hamburg and she didnt let  him come on the hill much at all so dad was always talking about you and when you would get home
 he couldnt wait  but you know all that now  theeir is lots more i can write i guess a little more each day as i think about it i will  take care till we meet again
