Dear Solly & Carla,                                                     24 MAY - Sat.

Just a short note. I was listening to the radio and what I heard gave me a real case of homesickness. It  was "Kites Are Fun" by the FREE Design. Brought back good K.C. memories - Xmas time -  100 West etc. - But I'm getting so homesick - Solly, have you ever heard any other records by F.- D.?

Damn - only 84 days but seems like a life-time.

Want to ask questions about things I've read in  "Capital" - What favorite K.U. hangout burned down? About 2 or 3 weeks ago there was big picket lines in K.C. at Safeway stores - Boycott Grapes - was Paul, you or any of the gang there?

Write tell me any old gossip - NOBODY WRITES - Tell me about K.C. - I miss home so much.

Things still happening but don't want to talk - Two Friends killed by rocket - Saw what was left of bodies PUKE! Don't feel right.

Am getting ready to order Stereo components - What an outfit I'll have

Still unsure of future - probably GM & finish school - FUCK IT.

Gonna drink, eat, & fuck - take hot baths

Get Bob & BAN to write - Paul - Goose people. Everyone -

This Xmas Let's buy 2 cases of Taylor's??

Your Dear Friend

Randall

PS The light still works
