Letter Number 5

Feb. 22, 1972

Dear Mom,
Hi. How are things? I heard about all your snow – sounds good. I wish I were there to see it. I guess you heard that Guy had an appendectomy last week. If you didn’t, Guy had an appendectomy last week.
Things are pretty different here at the Fit.
LCA is probably getting a house. We have been looking at it for some time. We went inside the other day and it looks real good. I’m also Assistant to the President of Lambda Chi Alpha, Welby. I’ll be initiated by April 8. Gene has to wait ‘till May 20 because of Crew. May 20 is also the time we become a chapter. There will be a big banquet with tuxedos and all.
Speaking of Crew, I don’t know if I told you, but Gene’s on J.V. and beat Princeton, MIT, and Syracuse. I went to Disney World to watch the meet.
The weather here has been pretty bad – a lot of rain and not as warm as I’d like. I think it may get cold tonight.
I got a few fines but don’t worry about them – I wasn’t guilty. I think they send a copy home.
Mid-terms are over now. I did OK.
Oh, guess who was here last night? Hubert Humphrey – you remember him – he’s a senator. (haha!) Anyway, he gave a speech in the auditorium and then answered questions. The first to ask a question was Paranoid – my ex-roommate. Humphrey shut him up quick enough. He landed in a helicopter on the football field. He’s a good speaker but doesn’t say anything.
Anyway, I think if we get the house – which is just down the road – I’ll be moving in next quarter.
By the way, Gene and I are inviting half of FIT out for the 4th of July Weekend so I’ll probably have to put 20 or 30 of them up, OK? You don’t mind – do you? You’d better not, Big Swamp is coming!
Write soon.
Love,
Jon
PS – (Thurs) Didn’t get the house. Might build one.
