I said, “Ne, I didn't, John?" He said, “Well, hedid.* I picked up the
squirrel and séid, “The squirrel is dead now, Jehn. De yeu want it?" He
hesitated, and then said, "Why, yes, I'll take it."

Te this day, Jehn Tem Reynolds dees not knew that I was the culprit,
and the meterist was the cenfused individual wrongly accused by Jehn Tem
whe definitely saw him sheot that squirrel.

When I hear people make statements now in the hour of excitement I

able te devote a part ef my divided time in an endeavor te recapture the
champienship we lest te Levie Menze at Iewa State on March 2. Now - if there
is anything you would like te have done, you. just let me know and I will
"let George de it".

From Ens. Ralph E. Schaake, USS LST 338, N. Ye: "I have had another
change since I last wrete te you and I am mere than just well pleased with
the duty that I now have. .. This ship, with her efficers and men, has been
overseas for twe years now. That is tee leng but they have stood up well
under the strain ef three invasions in the Mediterranean and Normandy. At
