Letters To Home - May 17, 1951

Fort Benning, Georgia
May 17, 1951

Still very hot during the day, cold at night. Went on a hike today; nothing else to do except play softball or sleep.

Many Canadian soldiers moving in. Our ordnance people left Saturday, and are to be replaced by the Canadians on Sunday.

Went to the main post last evening to hear the Charlie Spivak band. Another terrific outfit, less progressive that Elliott Lawrence, but good, just the same. Again ran into two friends from home. They are stationed in the Third Army, won't be going overseas.
