| Some lovely ladies of the 1940s! |
Some 1940s Valentine cards ~ reminds me of Uncle Louie and the college girl he mentions!
My little notes:
He sounds frustrated with the whole K.P. duty and radio school. Quite a lot for an 18-year-old! At least he gets some social life as he mentions he had a date with a young lady from the collage and some swimming.
Goon Squad: I am not quite sure if he is referring to a "goon squad" at the college or Army base. I see variations from a "group of thugs" to a group at the college who help the incoming Freshmans and promote the school spirit! Maybe a term used for new recruits at the radio school like an initiation. He puts "goon" in quotes so maybe he is referring to feeling like a "goon" - a stupid, foolish or awkward person.
