From the U,. S. Naval Air Station at Memphis = Down in Dixie - comes a
note from A/C Frank Stuckey, who says, “A few weeks ago while I was on leave I
had an oecasion to read a copy of the Rebounder, I met Virginia Ford Sollenberger
on the train between Denver and Hutchinson and she had Marvin's copys I was de-
lighted to hear of the whereabouts of so many of my K.U. friends and happier still
to find that I could be put on the mailing list by writing to you, The Rebounder
really gives you the 'word',"

Thanks for your compliment, Frank, in giving the Rebounds the eredit for
being "the word"s

: Just after the seaniniiaidiavia of our last ‘havneaie Rebounds we were pleased to
réceive the announcement of the birth of a baby boy to Ens, and Mrs. Robert BE, Hunt,
on July 21, at Independence, Kansas, I promised Bob that I would mention it in the
next issueg Hearty congratulations to Bob and Mrs. Hunt! We hope the youngster is
now hale and hearty, and that his mother is feeling fine, I don't have to inquire
about the father.

Cple Hoyt Baker, at Camp Gruber, Oklahoma, wrote on August 21: "It won't
be long now before Hemry Shenk will be starting football practice there on the Hill.
Gosh, what I wouldn't give to be back. Sports are one thing I really miss in the
army, Its been so leng since I've played any game I've pr-vably forgotten howe » «
We will be leaving the States very soome Our outfit has been together now almost
a year, so I guess it is about time we are seeing the other sides"

And gosh, Hoyt, what we wouldn't give to have you backe You would perhaps
be the very tabasco that any football or basketball team needs, ‘The old spizserinktm,
the pepper and ginegar « that's what you always had. We will take a rain check and
count on you for September, '45 © ch, Hoyt? This goes for both ™ ae spheroid
and the *round ball".

Lt. Chester Gibbens is with the Army Air Farces Techs Training Command at
Orlando, Fla., and says he hopes to be able to get home for a football game or two
this fallg His leave is 3 mos, overdue, so he hopes to get home iate in Septe or
early Oct, . Chet continues, "Denny might get home around that time, He mentioned
something about coming back to the States to school, I imagine it would be for
Be29 training, but nothing definite has been said by hime « « « I guess I've been
fighting the battle on the home front and have released a WAC for combat duty."

Gibby, we are sending the football schedules to you pronto, If you will
look at the last Rebounds you will have the complete schedule. This is the way
we have of giving all the boys in the service + in the States and overseas - the
latest dope on the schedule, and also some feature on the personnel of the team.

It certainly will be good to have Dengil and you back. We hope that both of you
can arrive at the same time.
