Majer F. A. “Fen Durand, FMF Pacific, San Francisce, writes; "I saw Chris
Eberhart recently when he was en his way te Iwo Jima and we had a nice evening
discussing K.U. I haven't heard anything abeut hew he made eut yet... . I
managed te see a movie last night and whe should appear but Craig Stevens
(Gail Shikles). The movie was ‘Deugh Girls’.

Gail Shikles was a freshman at the University of Kansas were he was
starring en the fresh basketball team until Hollywood nabbed him. He was
just too good-leoking, and a movie scout lecated him. The fact that he was
photegenic and personable get him a contract.

We are still pulling fer yeu that your luck continues, Fene

I believe that Otte Schnellbacher, HAAF, Harlingen, Texas, is one of the
best correspondents that we have representing the ever-victorious 1942 team.
And that is not saying that Otte is not busy, because he has been the backbone
ef foetball and basketball teams wherever he has been stationed. Schnelly
mentions having seen Phil Borelle who played on the football team here in 1931.
Otte, be sure te give Phil my kindest regards. He was one of the great athletes
at the University, but sickness-cut his tenure short here. Tell Phil if he
will send me his address we will be glad to send him the Rebeunds.

Cpl. Hoyt Baker, APO 72, San Francisco, who played brilliant feotball and
basketball fer Kansas in 1942, writes from the Philippines. You bet, Hoyt,
we are glad te have Jee Roberts on our mailing list and have sent him the

last Rebounds.

Capt. Ray D. Tripp, APO 413, New York, writes that he had an interesting
“spare-time hep the other day, having breakfast in Londen, lunch in Paris,
afternoon tea in Brussels and supper back in Lenden. I doen't get much flying
time in these days and enjoyed it particularly as I'd never seenthose cities
frem less than 20,000 er so feet."

Lt. Lee W. Huddleston, APO 520, New Yerk, wrete from somewhere in Italy
in March, saying, "The January issue of Rebounds arrived and itwas almost
(but net quite) as good as a visit en the campus. There'll be quite a few
important places vacant at thet big reunien after the war with fellews like
T. Pe and Bill Beven gone, but the rest ef us will be there still rooting for
these fighting Jayhawkers. That Pfleugerville Pflash is geing great guns,
isn't he? I now have 10 missions, se I am no lenger tail-end charley in the for+
matien. Sidney Salt has my same APO number and Charley Black is in Italy, but the
only K.U. bey I've seen over here is Bob Jehlinek of Beloit, who played on your
freshman '42-'43 squad. The parts of Italy I've seen don't have much to offer,
but understand Rome is quite nice. . . ."

From Pfc. Charles R. Allen, Jr., APO 445, New York: "Through the Rebounds,
and the folks, and the Kansans I have received, I have beensble to haphazardly
keep up with the week te week news. The basketball team did fine this season.
Did me geod to see the team pull up. You did a wonderful job. Kirk Scott,

a frat brother, seemed like geod material ttowork on. I know everyone is with
you 100% and more pewer to you. - »Hope the town clean-up program is taking
effect smothly. It is an admirable work. The fellows from Lawrence I know
are watching the progress and thanking those participating."

Reg, I am going to take dinner with your father at the annual Chamber of
Commerce dinner, of which your dad is the efficient and retiring president.
We talk of you often.
