Taught from 8 – 12 and never so nearly went mad at them!  Everybody seemed to be on a tear!  Went to Sante Fe with Nina and jolly though these are the first symptoms I’ve seen of it! I enjoyed the trip. Got into Sante Fe about 6:30 ad Jeanette was waiting for me.  Bless her heart! She is the same as ever. I went to supper and came back to wait for Pauliver.
