A phone call from Iraq ...

Paul Grady called Daphne this morning.  The call was brief and the information conveyed to me was as follows:

1.     The Marines can not get any airline tickets for December so they are looking at November, around Thanksgiving, for Paul Grady’s two (2) week leave.  He called to recheck the dates for our cruise (01-16 October) to aid in the planning.

2.     With his ingrown toenail removed thus putting him on “light duty”, he cannot wear his combat boots and others continue to step on his foot.  This does set back the healing process a bit.  Nevertheless, he thinks he will return to work in the ‘tool room’ tomorrow.

3.     He has recently received packages from the gaming company (arranged by Scotty) and Aunt Sandy.  One mailed by Daphne on Saturday a week ago has been received but she has since sent at least two others.
