Dear Dre Allens

I heve been intending to write you a letter for some time
now, but I have been moving from place to place so much lately
it has been a little difficult to get settled dowme

I have recieved two copies of your "Jeyhawker Rebounds",
and can say that I enjoyed them very muche They seem to take
me right out of Army life, and put me back at Ke Ue and those
good old college dayse It was also very nice to learn of the where=
abouts of several of my fellow athlets of whom I knew nothing
: up to this timee

Since entering the Army I have been in six different places,
and will briefly outline them heree I was sent to Fort Leaven=
worth, Kansas where I was inducted, and had three days of class=
ification, and inoculatione From ther I was sent to Camp Wallace ,
Texas for eight weeks of basic traininge I then joined the
504th Berrage bt toon Battalion at Camp Davis, Ne Ce for ten
days training on balloons, and then to Seattle, Washington for
twenty months in the field around Boeing aircraft plante We
left Seattle on the twenty sixth of August and arrived in Fort
Custer, Michigan four days later where I stayed for two weeks,

and then transfered to Fort Sheridan, Illinois. I stayed in

Fort Sheridan for three weeks and was shiped to the 3652nd
