The university didn't have a swimming pool in those days. A busload of us joyfully accepted Eielson Air Force Base's commanding officer's kind invitation to come out there and swim in the Eielson pool.

I swam a while, dived a while, and sat on the edge of the pool to rest a while. Four or five young airmen came along. The bold one asked me �

"Are you from the university?"

"Yes."

"Do you know that girl in the white bathing suit?" His buddies grinned.

"Yes." (Indeed I did! And a shapely lass she was indeed! Really made that white bathing suit curve in and out in all the right places � and what it didn't cover was nice scenery, too.)

"What's her name?" His buddies grinned even wider.

"Carol Colberg."

"Does she have a boy friend?"

"Yes." I couldn't help grinning.

"Who?"

"Me."

He said no more, but his face was a sight to remember as his chortling buddies quickly dragged him away.


"Good enough" isn't.

Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.
