Dear Diary,

Bob was at the Air Corps gunnery school at Kingman, Arizona, tonight, on the first stop in his latest tour of camps. He will broadcast from Camp Hood, Texas, next week. Virginia Bruce was Bob’s guest. Being in Arizona, they naturally did a western sketch. Bob and Skinnay sang a duet to the tune of “Jingle Jangle Jingle,” only instead of spurs, it was burrs. It seems that they backed into a cactus plant. Bob also said a lot tonight about Dorothy Lamour’s recent wedding. He said, “I guess Crosby and I will have to get a job now.” He also said that the pin which used to hold up Dottie’s sarong was in the Smithsonian Istitute with this placard, “Never before has so much depended on so little for so long.”
