FOR AWHILE, FOR | AM ALREADY SCHEDUL “ED FOR SHIPPING BACK OUT IN JAN,
YOU CAN REST ASSURRED THOUGH, THAT 1! AM LAPPING UP EVERY SECOND OF
MY DUTY iN THESE GRAND OLD UNITED STATES, AND FULLY APPRECIATING
EVERYTHING THAT | HAD SPENT THE LAST TWO YEARS LONGING FOR.

. DUTY HERE 1S QUITE A NOVELTY WHAT WITH WAVES ALL AROUND EVERY
YOU LOOK. NO KICKS FROM THIS CORNER ABOUT THAT PHASE OF THE ASSIGNe
MENT. :

| HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED DUTY IN THE COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE OF THE
CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS AND HAVE AN INTERESTING JOBeoIF YOU LIKE
COMMUNICATIONS. CERTAINLY NEVER A DULL MOMENT,

HAVE RUN INTO QUITE A NUMBER OF FORMER JAYHAWKERS INCLUDING
ENSIGN PAUL MACCASKILL AND 1ST LIEUT JOHN MILTON PHILLIPS, OF MT.
OREAD POLITICAL AND PUBLIC SPEAKING FAME, IF YOU KNOW OF ANY OTHERS
AROUND THIS NECK OF THE WOODS WOULD APPRECIATE HEARING ABOUT IT
SQ PERHAPS WE CAN HAVE A GRAND OLD JAYHAWK REUNION ONE OF THESE DAYS.

INCIDENTALLY, SHORTLY AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS BY YOU, | HOPE TO

GET CROSSED UP AND CAN ONLY OFFER A FEMININE VOICE LOUDLY SUPPORTING
FROM THE FIRST ROW...eBUT | WILL BE HAPPY EITHER WAY.
a THE ENCLOSED CLIPPING APPEARED IN THE WASHINGTON POST THE ®DHER

DOWN IN CELEBRATION,...A MUCH BELATED CELEBRATION, GIVE THEM TWO
LICKINGS IN BASKETBALL THIS WINTER AND IT WILL BE A 4,8 SEASON ALL
AROUND, INCIDENTALLY, HAVE YOU SCHEDULED ANY GAMES FOR DECEMBER OR
JANUARY BACK HERE CLOSE TO WASHINGTON? ARE YOU PLAYING IN NEW YORK,
AND IF SO, WOULD YOU HAVE ANY EXTRA ROOM ON THE BENCH FOR A POOR
OLD NAVAL OFFICER WHO 1S REALLY STARVED FOR A FAST 4% MINUTE SESSION

/ OF BASKETBALL PLAYED THE JAYHAWK WAY?

\
