“Went to town on a pass Sunday nite. The first I've been off duty since I was in Camp Robinson. It seemed good to walk where I pleased and I did. Guess I must have walked five or six miles that evening. No place special to go, so ended up in China Town. There having New Years in that section of the city. San Francisco is quite a city.”
-- Letter from Dale Sooter, age 24, San Francisco, Calif., to my father, Sidney DeVere Brown, 17, Winfield, Kans., Monday, February 16, 1942. Dale was my dad's cousin. He was a private in the army; my dad was a college student.
