Di Battista Rocchi Honeymoon to Italy follows wedding vows Wendy Thonuon I sat or while this afternoon and stared at typewriter It t do flood The paper stayed blank and so my mind it has something to do with the fact that I Just heard there is now a deadline for Retting columns In and Ive Just about reached it To and Jiggle mind Into some kind of profitable thought I reread a letter that arrived a tew days ago and decided that since I found Una lelter so thought provoking it might do to quote a bit of It It from our Alberta Roy takes a marvellous open delight and interest in people and bow they think Hes had me groping for words more what I do and I know it docs me good His last letter read in part I ve been fortunate to meet a lotta good folks in the mountains the great majority seem to think that they reallj got nothing to or that what thc say all that important But darn it all they DO something to say and It IS important guess most of em don even realize that they are reallj or that they have gotten to mean so much to me Remain dream About that Perfect talked about Realistically I don think there ever will be one Perhaps biologicallj sociolo gically and psychologically might be able to produce a near perfect being but the might Just remain a dream At home here I m fortunate enough to have my own perfect society and I think that both of you feel that you have also I suppose it kin da good to be dis contented with a few things but I suppose it takes to philosopher cowboy friend from accept a lotta things as are Heaven help us to know which things eh It good hear

while However some day I might just get an itch to go some place Alberta and who knows I just might come a call in This is about half of Roy letter Right now Im going to take the whole thing a cup of
