Dear Doctor Tresidder:
Thank you for your letter of good wishes! Some of my happiest memories are of Stanford and one of the pleasures I look forward to most after the war is my return to the campus for a "Big Game" or "Big Meet".
In answers to your questions: I have considered returning to Stanford to study law. I'm 31 now, marries, with three children and have income enough to get by comfortably. Previous to the war I worked for a large corporation and, while I was successful, I do not look forward to working for a corporation after the war.
My nebulous dream now is to study law and go into business, practice, farming or politics or any combination of the

in a small community!
My only concern is the age factor. By time I am released by the Navy I may be 35 which would mean I would be go ing to school until I was 37! It would seem pretty late in life to start out all over again!
What do you think of the practicality of these plans?
For "The Records Buruea" I'm a Lieut, USNR, Navigator on the U.S.S. Walden, DD699. We are attached to a "fast carrier task group" which continues to see plenty of "fast action." Lorna, my wife, lives at 1748 Drew Street, San Francisco, with Rachel and Linda and Katherine the children; and she manages to "nurses aid" at the Stanford Hopsital and "gray lady" at Letterman just "to hold up her end."
Sincerely, Richard Q. Bullis, '37 USS Waldron, DD699 c/o FPO - San Francisco
