"Monday
morning I dropped over to the Pentagon Bldg. for an interview with Mr. Nott who
is handling overseas jobs for the War Dept.... Tuesday he called up Mrs. Farrow
-- the Korean War Dept. worker in our offices who handles proficiency tests --
and said that he had jobs for five of the men who had applied -- my name among
the five.... Tuesday night I was all set to accept the job [in Japan] until I
went home at 11:30 P.M. to find Mom's letter waiting for me. Mrs. Sellar's has a room open; so I decided
to go to college & get my degree-- and I left the door open for a job next
summer in Japan."

from my father, Washington, D.C., to my grandmother, Bloomington, Kans.,
