Friday 25 August 1944, 8:45 AM
Went on
liberty again yesterday. Went over to
the dental clinic and met Jackson. We
had lunch at the Officers' Club and are planning to get together one day next
week. Met some of the officers of our
ship and went out with them. We returned
to the base and did a little elbow bending at the Submarine Officers' Club. Then we returned to the ship. It was about 8:45 PM then, and we hadn't had
any dinner so--we went into the galley and I concocted an omelet of catsup, Tabasco,
Worcestershire sauce and eggs. We ate
every bit of it so it must have been, at least, edible.
A few of us
recently visited the largest pineapple cannery in the world. I drank ice cold juice and ate sliced
pineapple until it came out of my ears, but I still like the stuff. The tour through the plant takes one hour and
I was impressed by the cleanliness of it all.
Every bit of the pineapple is used, even down to the shell which is used
as feed for cattle.
Well dear,
nothing much else to tell. I took out a
couple of juicy impactions and surprised myself. Even though I haven't done any real surgery
in months everything went smooth and even the patients survived. Right now I'm waiting for an anesthetic to
take effect. The patient says it is
really numb so I've got to go back to work.
Bye dear till
tonight. I love you and miss you.
Your own husband,
Gil
