Dear Johns

‘The last address I had from Corporal Charles Loar
was as follows:

Corporal Charles P, Loar, UeSMeCoR
 Pield Artillery Section

Headquarters F.M.Fe Pacific ’

c/o Fleet Post Office

San Francisco, California

It had "hold" on the notation, Charles Loar formerly lived at
Independence, Missouri, which is just out of Kansas City.

He told me that he was coming in and tell me all

about the last moments with T.P., as he was with T.P,. when
it happened, but he never got around to it. However, he did
have one of the boys come in and tell me about it. His father
was principal of the Topeka High School before he passed away.
i think he died while the son was in services
: Richard Van Slyck came in to see meg doubltless you

have had that information. I am glad that Bill Atwell is come
. ing back. He has a fine personality and I am sure will do a
fine jobs Bob Ellsworth is a dandy boy and I think it is swell
you are doing such a fine job in entertaining him.

With every good wish to you for the New Year, I am
5 ¢ a ‘

Director of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach.
