about his visit with T, P, Hunter:

| “Again your Rebounds made life pleasanter out here for some more Jayhawkers.
About a month ago, just before we started on the job we just finished, I noticed —
from one of your very welcome letters that ol' T. P. Hunter was in the 9th Marines.
Since we had part of that group aboard I investigated and found he was on a ship
anchored less than 1,000 yards away, As you can imagine, I got the signalmen hot
on the blinker and sure enough, he was over there, so I grabbed a beat and found
him lagily stretched out on a bench gound asleep. We really hashed over old times
and spent all evening firing questions and answers back and forth, He's well and
happy as can be out here and is doing a good job. He told me about his experiences
on Bougainville = must have been quite a sensation, but as before he's just the man
0 get tough jobs done, The next day he came over for lunch and we started afresh
on where and what everyone was doing. To top it all off, we discovered Clint Kanaga
was on a ship about 1,000 yards the other way, so we barged over to have dinner and
spend the evening with him, . . » I haven't been able to find out how T. Pe came
out but do know he arrived safely on Guam and is doing a big job. We all feel
proud that we at last have pried loose the Japs from a former U. S. possessions
And, Doctor, you don't realize what a big help your Rebounds ares If it hadn't
been for yaa we would never have been able to have our little reunion, About two
months ago while we were in Guadaleanal I had the luck of running into ‘Rope’
Engleman, He's doing fine and likes the duty on his D.E."

Thank you, Ensign Delbert = we think you are fighting a splendid war,

And@ from Rope - Lt. (jg) Howard G. Engleman (Fleet P. 0., San Francisco),

comes this word, written on July 29th: "Received your #9 Rebounds of June 12th

® « « « 80 I feel very well informed of Kansas events, I have never enjoyed a
Rebounds more and Iswell with pride when I see the names of the boys. You sure
keep track of them. As I told you before, I have run into Knute Kresie and the
young Haines boy out heres It still looks like a long one from where we are even
though the European war seems to be progressing nicely. « . « The second genera~
tion, from all reports, is coming along fine now and should be ready for college
some time in '62, Hope you're still there, Docs Tell Bob to get busy or we'll
lost that championship in 1964. . . ”

Howard, we will appoint you the director ofvital statistics to see that
Bob and the rest of that gang do their share toward rehabilitating Kansas basketball.

Maje Fen A. Durand (Fleet P, 0., San Francisco) writes on July 31, as
_ follows: “Upon leaving Hawaii in May our division landed on Saipan on 15 June. I
have been here ever since trying to eke out an existence. As you know, the island
was finally secured on 9 duly, but since that date there have been several thousand
more Japs killed. They seem to sneak down out of the hills at night to do what
demage they can in our ammo and fuel dumps. I've seen both Bill McKinley and Fred
Eberhart on the island and they are both feeling fine, There mst be at least
ten others from K.U. here and all of us plan to get together soon."

Major Fen, I ean tell you honestly you have been the talk. of the campus
