Another photo of A 1/5, with more unidentified men - with the blond, Ronnie Adams, looking at the camera this time.   They apparently are opening a package from home in these photos.  I don't think it was Carl's package - he shared about everything but my mom's homemade divinity candy that she was always sending him.  He said the men asked him if he didn't know he wasn't supposed to get along with his mother-in-law.  He told them that they hadn't met his mother-in-law. 

 

I always sent a batch of homemade pineapple cookies along with other food items, etc.   Carl never mentioned the cookies, so in Hawaii, nine months and dozens of cookies later, I asked if he liked them.  He gingerly told me - carefully wording his response - that he didn't like pineapple!  But he quickly assured me that the other guys seemed to enjoy them. 

 

Just thought I would share this amusing remembrance.  To this day, every time I see a pineapple, I  remember  the batch after batch of cookies I sent him (apparently I thought they were my "specialty" at the time because I liked them.)
