Fri, Jan 26, 1945: keep right in the “buggy”

"Your letter to Stanley came O.K. and sounds as though you had plenty to do, keep right in the "Buggy" and you'll come out all right....
"If my memory serves me right you have a birthday coming up on Monday, you will be twenty, think you will find the years between 20 and 51 will pass in a hurry, so make the best off your young years because from now on you won't know where they went too….
"Mothers school is about as usual with the added attraction that last Saturday some kids put the stink part of a skunk down the register and of course things have been pretty well scented up around there, she just found up who did it today."
-- Letter from my grandfather, Leonard Reeves Brown, Bloomington, Kans., to my father, Sidney DeVere Brown, Boulder, Colo., Friday, January 26, 1945.
