Several months afterward I was laid up with an attack of pneumonia and it was then that I appreciated to the fullest extent my wife and my home, for the tender care and comfort 1 enjoyed. And I want to say that Mrs. Fried is an excellent cook. In fact, we moved from the kitchenette apart- ment to another with a full size kitch- en 5o she could enjoy the facilities of a | real galley. I have yet to find a stew- ard who can serve me an apple pie that can compare, even favorably, with | my wife's baking.
