We have been\nwith them a number of times and enjoyed their company tremen-\ndously. Fact is, we were with them last evening and another\ncouple when we went to the Atlanta Civic Center to see Lauren\nBacall in her latest road show effort.\nWe have heard from Laura and John a couple of times\nsince they moved to St. Louis. She indicates that they are\nenjoying their assignment there very much. If my calendar\nis correct, it would appear to me that it will not be too long\nbefore his time in the Army will be up and that he will go into\npractice some place in Missouri."
