Dear Allen, Vie & Siana-Lea,
Mommy said you tried to call me. Recently I have had to make frequent trips to El Paso for physical therapy at the hospital. It is my headache problem which could be getting worse because of a pinched nerve. If so, treatments should prevent more serious problems later. I also take longer walks at sundown, weather permitting. Don't you remember when we were with me when we browsed—Don't know if you saw the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," a similar theme. Keep well. If ever,
MR. & MRS. ALLEN W. GILDARD
