In this episode, we read Bruce’s letters about the many uniforms he wore, his homesickness for his family after his first couple of weeks at Santa Ana, and how he wanted all the “dope” about what was going on back in Lowell. Our historian Dale Kropf joins us as always, and we have a special guest reader-- Zac Herrin, Bruce's first great-grandchild! 
 
Original music by Roger MacNaughton.
