Partly cloudy, 70. Finished ironing and tailoring Gerald's shirts and did mending. Carol went home with Linda.
Comment: Back then, there were no fitted shirts and in the military, any guy with a sewing machine could make quite a few bucks tailoring both the baggy trousers and the shirts that were issued. I did not have a sewing machine but did know how to steam press so I made extra bucks pressing my buddy's uniforms. At the Army Language School, we wore wool, winter uniforms all the time so that was a great place to make extra money....me and LaVerne in our uniforms in 1958....I was home on leave having graduated from the language school and en route to Okinawa..LaVerne was stationed at a Nike site just outside of Boston..
