SUMMARY:

Rejected by Army because of asthma & hay fever [PDK:  from both of which, GTK suffered all his life].  Awkward being civilian at Yale when everyone’s in uniform.  Starts medical school 6/25.  Wished Army was paying for his medical school.  Needs information on what groomsmen will wear.  In Cooperstown, getting Hyde Bay Camp ready to open.  Big demand for spots, first waiting list ever.  But no experienced counsellors, so having to train them.
