All of our mail did not arrive at once as there was some 
delay somewhere. I think we have received most of it now. You 
will notice that I am not using; SI envelones and second shbets. 
Somehow none were packed. We also have no SI gummed labels. 
We have all read the droppings with much interest. The comment about 
bad landing was not correct. Both George and Roger broke their 
glasses, but not during landings. We only got extra 7A bands sin ce 
I thought we might need them, but at the rate we are going I doubt 
if we use them up. 
I hope that I am still scheduled for a vacation during December. 
I certainly don't want to lose any accumulated vacation. Phil 
Lehner would like to be in D.C. during the early part of March, if 
possible. There is a meeting he would like to attend on March 8-10 
which is being held in D.C. 
Best regards, 
Binion Amerson
