I missed last weeks phone call, but he left a message on the machine. I couldn't hear it very good though so didn't post anything.

He has been at a French base for a couple of weeks now and is enjoying that. He told me sometime ago that they move his group there as it is closer to their work. He is enjoying the change, is enjoying new types of food and learning a few French words. I guess they (the French) wear really short shorts on base. He's not sure now long he will be at this base, so if a new address comes I will let you know. I said a package Fri. of last week and I am afraid all the homemade goodies are going to be green and fuzzy by the time he gets it.

He has been fighting a head cold of some sort, but said he was feeling much better that day. He also said he hasn't had much access to internet, not that he is good at writing, but hasn't even been able to get on and check things.

He sounded good as always.
