We have not seen her since. Every Lime we sen Louise plane fare she kept the Money but never came Home. When we asked her Why she did t to know Edge our gifts she said they weren t Worth a knowl edging. Finally she sent us a Lei in Ler listing 20 childhood Grice of anew in which she accused us of being responsible for All of her f problems and declared herself free and Independent of us for All time. We thought if we let her alone and gave her the space she requested she would come Home on her own. Instead she continued to ignore us and moved i with her Boyfriend. Although we received no further communications when she graduated from College we scraped together s5.000 and paid off her College loan. Again she did no say thank recently out of the Blue we received a cold formal letter saying she was getting married and that she would understand if we could not attend the wedding we immediately responded saying we would be de lighted to come. She then sent a second letter saying she thought we should know there would be several people in attendance who disliked us intensely. We replied thai we would came anyway but would fee More comfortable if a could meet the Groom before the wedding. The Only thing we know about him is his first name and his occupation her third Teller slated that she and her Fiance simply could t find time to Sec us my husband says it is obvious that Louise did not expect us to accept to wedding inv ipalion and thai we would be crazy to go where we Aren t wanted. I think we should Swallow our Pride go and try to Malce the Best of it. What do you think the wedding is scheduled for january please no City no stale. Despondent dear d i Mien you and your husband would be setting your selves up far a great Deal of heartache if you attended the wedding. It is obvious that your daughter is hostile angry and behaving like � spoiled brat. You have Jar put Waico her abusive behaviour by allowing her to step All Over you.

Dear Ann Landers m y wife and i have had a Long standing disagreement. When our theater seals Are in the Middle fan otherwise full Row How should we proceed is i proper to face the people we arc passing or should we proceed with our backs to those in the same Row my wife says we should face the people because it would be impolite to butt them with our rear ends. I say that it is More genteel to pass facing the stage or screen. What is the Correct procedure anatomically aware in Mexico City dear aware it is belter id fuss facing the stage or screen than to sure eyeball to eyeball and possibly bump front Wise into the standing patrons. Always apologize for the in convenience and try for a minimum of body Contact. Renter willing � Wile to Newa America Syndi Cau Tjhan Najr uni tall May in can no the surs my Siham. Apo 09211. . Fool criticism of intramural sports answered this letter is in reference to intramural sports and How they of acct work related duties of the Soldier. It is my understanding hat intramural sports Are to take place after duty hours and Are not to interfere with duties of the Soldier such As charge of quarters Border duty guard and regular workday activities. I do know Masl units will let sports participants practice during physical training hour. What arc some of the army regulations that can clarify this the second question pertains to the Fulda Marathon. The Cavali a units formed their Marathon learns and practice for the run. The problem is some units for example. Bravo troop ill car let the Marathon team have special privileges and also exempted these people from their duly rosters. An example of this is during Border duly Marathon team runners were allowed to attend Volks marches while other people who had done their shifts were assigned to cover for people on the Volks marches. Also on a recent a week of two weeks guard duty and cd the Marathon learn was exempt from guard and co while non runners pulled More than their share of duties with no compensatory time off. The runners were Only required to run in the morn ing and in the evening and the rest of the Day was free Lime. There were Many reports of people sleeping in and missing their practice All together. My problem with All of this is Why did some people in the troop do All the work while others Are nol doing their share in t there an army regulation that slates intramural sports will be done after duty hours and will not inter Fere Wilh regularly scheduled work name withheld Fulda Germany editor s note Cape. Waller f. Ulnar i. Commander b troop 1st Squadron 1kb army car Root replies i share Wilh the writer the same concerns regarding the Equality of treatment of the army athlete versus la Nan athlete especially in Light of a combat unit s routine duty requirements. After dealing As a commander with this sensitive Issue for Over 16" months i feel some that qualified in saying that the sacrifices that Many of our army ath letes Mike Many times exceed what is routinely expected of them also feel very strongly that our men and women in uniform must be soldiers first above everything else. This writer is absolutely Correct in his perception that there was command emphasis placed on the b troop Marathon learn and its accompanying preparation for the a Fuld Marathon. Three months prior to the race made it a Potof to address the entire troop shout rdc met that we would lieu a id Nan team and that any member of the unit could try out for the team. I also made it pointedly Clear hat there would be some specific sacrifices shut we would make without compromising our Mission in order la support this venture. The writer is slightly misinformed that the soldiers became professional Runny to the extent of neglect ing their soldierly duties. Specific sacrifices to the team in order for them to train properly included removal from the unit s cd cd runner duty Rosier for two Wheelu prior to be event in order for the team to train and diet correctly limited Border and guard Dory the last to weeks in july although some members of the team deemed Mission essential participated in both a Bor Der exercise and Bonier patrol Sand slightly different formation times to facilitate a to a Day pro Rhonl schedule. While i made sacrifices for the Leun members it was a so so proposition and in order to stay on the earn the runners had to make their own sacrifices. First they adhered la a rigorous professional mining sch adult often running in the wee hours of the morning when fellow soldiers were asleep or after duty hours whoa everyone else hid gone Home. Those soldiers who for no reason missed these train ing periods and goofed off us Ift writer implies were counselled with the same seriousness As any Soldier who missed a formation or appointment. In most cues sol Dier who were thought to a goofing off were annuity recovering from some fairly serious injuries cited by intense Long distance running second these Narat honors were encouraged to participate in weekend races and Rolker Arches in order la further their preparation far the big event. On Many a saturday and or sunday these dedicated runners would Rise Early and train hard and enthusiastically so that they could Benefit the team Ltd the unit. Other sundry details and requirements were Given to the Marathon team allowing the rest of the unit to maintain its unit integrity and avoid Many of Ibe dully training detractors which plague All nails. The Marathon team was detailed periodically for police moving details and Courtesy Pitroli. More specifically the team helped in major move a new motor Pool hereby saving other unit members front a wry dirty and Lime consuming operation. Team members were required to Soldier As Well As the next Guy and Many took their annual skill qualification lest and common test during the training period. One great contribution of the team occurred in the preparation for an annual regimental level Abc Cam petition. Through hard work and relentless studying five of the learn members were chosen to help rep resent the Squadron As part of the winning Squadron Abc team not Only did they bring credit to them selves and their unit they became very proficient in a critical wartime skill. Regulations that govern Soldier participation in nth Letic utilities provide commanders Al All Levels vary ing parameters within which to orchestrate their own programs. Likewise regulations concerning unit love social functions unit rips German american activities organizational Day activities and the like allow commanders the flexibility to Structure programs which will Best Benefit their units. We re not always perfect Here in b troop but much thought and foresight is Given in the application of Llu St programs so we won t upset the delicate balance required in running a combat ready unit. I can certainly understand the frustration of a Young Soldier who May nol be army be inclined and his questions regarding misplaced Priori ties. Soldiering is our primary business and we do nol operate in a vacuum. A Well placed program which emphasizes a lot of extracurricular activities can Only increase unit morale and cohesion. Incidentally 1 Hope writer shares with the troop the Pride and Esprit generated by the team s great Victory in the race.
