Dear Ann Landers my husband and i have been married for 37 years. We have three grown children and a Good marriage. My problem seems like a bad dream that never ends. The other Day a woman phoned the House. When she Lold me her name my heart Sank. I remembered her from our then dec Days. She had a with dozens of boys in High school including my husband. When he told me about her. It did t matter much because it happened before we started to Date. I Don t know How she found us but she called to Tell my husband thai he had fathered her child 41 years ago. She said her parents made her give up the boy for adoption but a few months ago she found him and now he is eager to meet his dad. My husband does t want any part of this and is denying everything. He says there were four others Guys the one night he had sen with her and the baby could have been anybody s. She wants to meet with us and show us pictures. My husband refuses to talk about it.

Form go blames liberals1 for Security shortfalls in response to the letter about the Shi Ilc moslem and the american hostages it is True that their terms cannot be met but it has also been proved that some times the rules must be broken or Bent. This was much the Case in the arms negotiations to the contras As Well As Iran and Iraq. If we Slop to look Back almost every event thai was controversial in the past four to live years benefited the . Efforts greatly fit was t for a few Ood men who pushed their Way through the bureaucratic rhetoric the contras would have already last and Iran and Iraq would not be at a cease fire. More importantly the hostages who were returned from Beirut and other areas would still be in Captivity. The one thing that we should know for sure by now is that we must fight fire with fire. We demonstrated this with the bombing of Libya after the Berlin disco incident and the taking of Grenada. We gained much More than just fire supremacy in Grenada. I for one cannot Slop thinking about what Casey former director of Cia. Gen. Secord. La. Col. Oliver North Mcfarlane and All the rest As Well As president Reagan have done. Our nation s Security was and still is at slake ii seems to me that there Are a lot of liberals out there who want everything to meet Senate and congressional approval. Then we breach our Security by leaking it to the press. Then this information goes to our enemies. If that s not bad enough these same Liber als would then leave american hostages in Captivity while they sit Back in their posh chairs. To me in these limes of half peace the real Issue is Security intelligence As Well As physical. Yes we Are guarding oar embassies and our installations yet we still Are very vulnerable. It seems we Are just sitting around hoping god does t punch our final Lime card As he did at the lab Lac disco. We cannot let our guard Down. Thank goodness our government is now Strong. My brother is in the Navy i for one feel he is Worth much More than any 150,000 insurance policy As Are All our families. Whether co Sec or Ovsec or Juit guard ing our areas overseas we All must Lake part now. There is no curfew in the world thai could Stop a bomb plus retaliation in an election year is unlikely. Our eyes and our awareness arc the Only Toots we have. Don t forget to Vole and smile tomorrow is another Day. Cpl. Michael Morton kerch Siw Wesl Germany Reader discusses mos reclassification this letter is in response to a recent Tetter concern ing promotions. The response seemed to try to convince the soldiers who Are in a so called voc strength military occupational specially mos to reclassify themselves. This is an act which t believe is detrimental to the Soldier and the army. All soldiers joined the army for one reason or an other whether in was out of patriotism to gain experience or for educational assistance. Each Soldier also chose his her mos because they wanted that particular Job and fell that they could pursue a successful career in Hal held. With inc thought of . The Soldier would be entering a career Field thai he she May not have any present knowledge of or interest for the new Field. Basically you Are speaking about soldiers who have been in their current Field for Highl 10 or More years and they would be entering a supervisory Posi Tion for which they would not be especially qualified let s face it if the Soldier wanted to be in the other mos Don t you think they would have in listed for it initially now let s look at who allows an mos to become so called Over strength.
