Ensign H. W. Stowits, U.S.N.R., U.S.S. Donaldson (D E - 44), c/o Fleet
Post Office, San Francisco, California, says, "I received two of your "Rebounds"
recently. They were mich appreciated. Everybody is hepped up over the war news.
The boys are betting on the mcenths instead of years to the end now. Tue last time
in port, I ran into another Kansan, Lt. (j.g.) Pettey, who was coach av Turner
High School. I received a letter from Frank Pattee and he informed me he is out
of the Navy and returning to K.U. this Fall. Thanks again for the "Rebounds", all
the officers have been reading them and even though not Kansans they enjoy them."

my sixth year of active duty on the firsc or September. Due to the type of work
that I do, I will probatly be one of the last tc don civilian clothes. I would

Captain Harley L. Anderson; 0-1575680, 1274th A.A.F. Base Unit, A.P.O.
600, c/o P:M., New York, N.Y., in his letter reveals this information. "Been ages
sinve I last wrote you, but it isn't that my thoughts haven't drifted back many
times te old Mt. Oread, for they have. It's just that letter writing is rather
difficult when on the move,"

"During all this time the "Rebounds" have been coming‘in regularly and
certainly are enjoyable to read. I find the "special feature ‘stories," such as
the one about Bill Johnson, particularly interesting since they occurred long be-
fore my time at K.U. I had heard of them vaguely but never knew the complete de-

tails."

"Was not long after V-E Day until our bomb group left England. Flew in
B-17s down to Casablanca where we were assigned to Air Transport Command and the
group ‘de-activated. After a month in Casablanca, I was sent down here to help
build three emergency. fields on the new coastal route between Casablanca and Dakar.
This ‘particular place, Villa Cisneros, belongs to the Spanish and about the first
tine we've used any of their torritory. It's a very isolated place with no towns
for hundrzds of miles.’ Everything, including fresh water, has to be flown in.
I'm picking up Spanish, ‘(none of them speak English) pretty fast, but conversation
is still a tedious process." 4
