thought. I phone him every Fri afternoon from
my sitting job, & I suppose we will get together
when divergent schedules permit.

Last week I had a baby-sitting job that the
lady negotiated throught the Sitter Service. We
got to talking & I asked her what her husband
does. He's a broker with Dean Witter & Co. He
covers the S.F. to San Jose area. Whaddaya
know about that? Well-behaved children, too.
Name: James E. Ryan.

Thanks for sending that travel list. I know
quite a few of the girls in it. About your "home
sweet home" appendage. Don't you know
that birds leave the nest, & usually at their
own discretion? You never seem to understand
that you can't keep your children by keeping
them at home. You can lose them that way,
though. At the moment I have no desire to go
to Europe, & that goes for the immediate fu-
ture. I have too many things to do. Eventually,
I suppose I'll get there, but it will have to be
under my own steam. At one time, I really
did want to spend this last year going to school
in Spain. The whole deal, including boat fare,
is cheaper than a year at Stanford, & you spend
your vacations touring Europe. I sounded
you out about it, & then didn't waste my time
pursuing it any further. I don't suppose you
remember, as there wasn't much said. Anyway,
now I'm just as glad I stayed right here.

Fitch is probably someplace around Estes
Park, Colo. A lot of her contemporaries retired to
there, & she loved it & used to spend her summers
there. If you can, would you please get me
her address.
