"Yesterday
we took a little hike into the mountains.
This time Jim, Everett Bostrom (a boy in my section) and I explored the
'Flatirons', west of town. Our excursion
took us slightly farther than we had intended to go, so our arrival back in the
city was rather late. That meant that
all of my studying has to be done today.
We had a good time, though; and nothing less than an airplane could give
us as good a view of Boulder."

family, Bloomington, Kans., Sunday, January 14, 1945. Two days earlier, on January 12, the Soviets
had launched an offensive against German forces that would lead to the
liberation of Warsaw and Krakow in a matter of weeks.
