Service Unit at the University of Illinois for training and
administration of Army Specialists Training Program students.

As you can see tive Army has given me a very good ge0o=
graphical education, of which I am very appreciativee I have
been able to abserve the habits and customes of many different
types of people in different sectors of the Ue Se, and can say
truthfully that I will take the good old Mid-West any time.

During my stay in Fort sheridan I checked out for the post
football team, and worked myself into fairly good shapee I
was offered the choice of permanent personal at Sheridan, to
play on the football team, or ASTP at the University of Illinois,
and selected the University of Illinoise I selected the
University, because I felt that I might possibly get in a few
hours of credit toward my degreee

I understand that the University of Illinois is a very good
basketball Ue If it is at all possible, Iam going to try and
work out with them, even though the Army doesn't allow soldiers
to participate in sports at any universitye I am hoping that
Illinois is on your basketball schedual so I can see you and
the boys playe If you have your schedual made up would you
please send me @ copy of it?

Please give my regards to Mrse Allen, Elenor, Bob, Mit,

and all my friends at the universitye

Sincerely yours,,
