This first spread is actually a continuation of the previous page, where Vance said he had hoped I'd be coming home after boot camp. Here he's written in very large letters the word
SHIT!
and below that we read
"He didn't. I've become mentally fucked. I no longer have"
Note that this was probably written in late July, early August of 1976. I was in Basic Training at Ft. Dix, NJ and ended up going to Cook School in the same place. They just loaded a few of us in the back of a truck and drove us to the school -- no vacations for the weary.

Here is were I started writing weird shit because I was in need of a Rick fix. The months before Rick went to the Army, we were basically hanging together 24/7. I wrote all kinds of stuff about being depressed and trying to make my way alone, so to speak.I was all geared up for Ricks return from boot-camp and it didn't happen.
