Dear Sioux Sue and Larry,
It's still Springtime in Schenectady. The weather is a little chilly, but it's a lot better than having blizzards. Eeven if we get snow now it will not last long.
Lar - did you check with the registrar as to whether he had sent your transcript?
SueSue - Niskayuna is taking acensus [sic] the 2 weeks you will be home. Mom thought it would be a good opportunity to pick up over a $100 by being a census taker. That's why I rushed the application to you, and asked you to return it to Town Hall at once. The applications were supposed to be in today. They need 60 people and the paper said they only had 24 Monday.
We received the new dues structure from The Edison Club today. Starting April 1, regular members dues will increase $3 per month, while Associate members (like us) will increase $2 per month. Starting April 1966 it is proposed to increase again - another $4 for regular and $1 from Associate. At that time the dues for both classifications would be the same - $27 per month.
Lar - let us know at once if you want to get a [sic] extra golf membership this summer. I have to let the Club know. There is no increase this year - it is still $30 and allows you to play at anytime, without a parent. If we don't get it you could only play with a parent.
The Teachers Federal Credit Union is having its annual dinner and meeting Sat. night March 20 at the E club. Mom called the Altmans and they will go with us. It's Joe's birthday, so we'll probably stay for Candlelight Inn on the porch, after the Credit U dinner.
Since I wrote you Sunday, the only news is that our septic tank has been cleaned out. It took two loads. I came home at 3 yesterday afternoon to be here while the work was done. It was exactly three years ago that we last had it cleaned.
Judy Altman is going to Indiana U next year. She was also accepted at Western Women's College, Oxford, Ohio. However, she decided on a bigger University.
Mom picked up Larry's suitcase and books at Davee's office after school today. Lar - we like the picture of the Phi Ep boys, but that hair! Don't you think you should brush it away from your forehead?
Tomorrow night I have K and bowling. I feel a big score coming up - only five weeks left. The JCC is having its annual open bowling tourney Sat. night April 3 at Woodlawn. I'm going to enter it. I bowled last year, but didn't win anything. There will be prizes for high triple, high single, gross and net.
Last night Mom and I had meat loaf, a small one that Mom made when she made the big one for the family Sunday. Tonight I bought some lamb chops at Albany Public Market before I came home. I also got some potatoe [sic] patties. That was our meal tonight. Tomorrow Mom is on pot luck while I'm at Kiwanis.
Mom is still ytaking Aunt Harriet to school every morning as her finger is still not good. It's tough for her to drive as she has that push button shift and it bothers her finger.
I just finished Kiwaniska News, so I'll enclose a copy for each.
Mom is getting some more clippings to enclose. She spents [sic] a lot of time going over the papers to clip things for you.
No news at VA. I wonder if Pres Johnson saw the letter he got from me today. No doubt some 22nd secretary opened the mail and got out stock answer No. 354.
That's all for now. Keep well and write us.
Love,
Daddy [Arnold J. Friedman]
