His studying done, Joe crawls into bed, reads a chapter or more of his Bible and rereads that day's letter from his girl, Ann Huffines, of nearby Rough Point, now away at David Lipscomb College in Nashville. Wrote Ann recently: "Hope you are all right and that your work is coming along all right. I surely do think about you and wish I could see you.
