Clear - Rain  JULY 6  85

Up at 0800E worked at the lab all day. After supper Gus got a car and we went out to Dressers where we went swimming. But we had to go to Bucksport to get Max first. Mary (Buds wife) is pregnant and she & Max will be a mother soon. We had a swell time. Little Mary & I danced until it was time to go home. Got back about 2330E when I found a telegram waiting for me. I was from Dr. Nelson and he said "Brother Henry seriously ill come at once. Family here." I almost died on the spot. The first Sgt. said to come back tomorrow so I went to see Lt. White who was Staff O.D. and he advised me to make a call to Jamestown, which I did and Doney hasn't got a chance. Lt White then gave me permission to leave and also $25 a payment on his car. "What a man?" Gee! I was worried so. I packed and was ready by 0400E. Went to town by taxi and waited for the Bus until 0615E
