Dear Phog?

I have your letter asking for further amplici-
catio bout the boys. Tharete not much more to
tell. | Bob and Charles were both stationed at Pearl
Harbor for two or three months around the last of

the year. Mrs. Gilliland has two sisters living in
Honolulu. The boys were able to spend quite a little
time during their leaves at the home of one or the
other of these aunts. About the middle of, January
Dong, on a B29 on his way to the Mariannas, stopped
in Honolulu for 48 hours. He-managed a pass and the
three boys spent some time together at the home of
one of their aunts. '

Both Bob and Don are stationed in the Mariannas;
Bob, gbout half way between Guam and Japan. On a re-
turn trip from Japan Don stopped at Bob 's station
for gas. Having three days' rest period comirg up,
he was permitted to spend 48 hours there.

Since Don is not familiar with K. U. or the
personnel involved in your’ Rebound, I doubt if it
would be worth while to send him a copy. I would.
appreciate a copy, however. You can mail it to me
at 16 West 18th Street.

Yours very truly,
