Up at 0130A. Wrote a few letters and then went down to see Mary at the Lab. I reminded her of my invitation to dinner was still open so she accepted. Was I surprised. I dressed as soon as I could and met her at the house. It was cold out so we held one another close and ran almost all the way to the Nfld Hotel where we had dinner. I never enjoyed a meal as much as I did this one. "Red" is so wonderful but a little coy. We then walked back to the USO god!

What a wonderful time we had I looked into her eyes almost all night. and they sparkled like the stars. We danced so close and cheek to cheek that everybody watched us. For the first time in my life I was completely ignorant of everybody except Mary. I'll never forget this night. The fast fast dance we were perfect [[right arrow symbol]]
