Stahlke Adoption

I previously wrote a postcard to Paul that I would be having an outpatient heart procedure on June 26^th.  He received permission to telephone me on June 25^th to wish me well and again on June 26^th after the procedure.  Considering that he ordinarily receives his phone for 10 minutes every five weeks, I was impressed with the Army that they would allow him to call me.  We received his second phone call as I checked out of the hospital and talked with him for almost 15 minutes.  Here's a letter he wrote the next day:

Hey guys how’s it going?  So I know I called you on the 26^th and said I will get leave after graduation.  Well I won’t.  I will be shipped to Washington 30 minutes after the graduation.  So if you made any plans for that, like for me to come home with you, I would cancel them.  Well that’s it that’s all the news I have since yesterday.  I will keep you posted.
