Term's Son Remembers ?
Pop's Birthday From
H’s Place in Armv *
SEND FIRST PAYMENT ON SAILBOAT
Tom is a lajghtng sort of man. Rut as ho came through
the sports department his eves were fogged with the mist of a
person deeply moved.
I ran t tell you all of Tom s name. He wouldn’t like it this
way. But he has grown white in the employ of Thp fVtroit
Times. They have been happy years. You ran see it in his
face. The wrinkles on his pink features all go up. They re the
kind that come to a man who laughs much.
Wnat was the matter?
Tom paused alongside the desk. He was gulping. He held
a letter in one hand, a $lO Hill in the other.
“ladter from my kid, Ruddy. He always wanted a boat.
Now look what he doev Sends me $lO to put away toward
one for the day when he comes ha« k from the army, lie ran t
afford it hut you can *eo what he is thinking about afler his
dav's work is over. May he you d like to read it. Ruddy is a
nice hoy.**
A Soldier's Letter to His Pop
To you and you who have hoys away in service who are
writing to you perhaps there is nothing new in a note like
Buddy s. You know of the utter loneliness they experience at
times. To you others it may help appreciate the reveries and
dreams of an American Hoy. There are thousands of Ruddies.
What Tom's Buddy wants to do after he helps put the world hack
on an even keel is part of the American way of living. It s part
of the thing he is working for.
But listen to Buddy:
Dear Top:
llappy birthday. Tall And many more of them.
This little gift is for that little sloop down South. Just
us Top. you and I. You take the tiller and I’ll handle the sheet.
“Of course if Mom wants to go too we’ll let her hut just
you and I know what heaven there is in a “eatspaw” of a
hree/e sneaking across the water and the song that backstays
make when they start twanging and the sheet wants to cut
your hand in two.
We know Top—-we know what the bottom of a boat looks
like when her rails are awash and her centerboard is playing
sweet music.
We know the ease of running free and the thrill in a close
hauled tack to windward. We’ll make her point. Pop, point
her nose so close she wants to luff but not quite.
That’s sailing. Pop. Just you and I.
Remember the last time we were out? Down at Farragut
it was. The wind pushing upriver and a bit in it. Rain
making your lines stiff as iron We're not fair weather sailors,
are we. Pop?
She will be all gray with red trim and a green bottom.
Her deck should be clear wood—no sissy varnish for us. Pop.
I can see her now and you know I want her as much as you do.
We’ll have her too. Wait and see. I may have to wait
quite awhile and do a lot of things that I don’t want, to do
but some day I’ll rome home and life will be good again—
down there—where the sun shines on blue lakes and green
row’ed hills of oranges.
Let’s drink a toast to it —just you and I, to Gray way ll—
just you and I.
All my love. *
\ our soldier boy,
BCDDY.
