Dear Fellow Jayhawkers:

Lieut. and Mrs. Ole Nesmith just dropped in the office to say hello and good-
by. Ole has been stationed in the South Pacific urea for fourteen months. He is
on a 15 day furlough and is reporting to Liberator Training Unit, NAS, Hutchinson,
Kansas, until further orders. Ole looks in first class fighting condition - down
to his old football training days. It was good to see both Mrs. Nesmith and Ole.
We rememborod meeting Mrs. Nesmith in Now York when our basketball team was play-
ing in the Garden. Sle was formorly Miss Enily Lomb.

Lieut. and Mrs. Charles Black also called on us a woek ago. We had a splendid
visit and Charlie looks like a million, - finely conditioned and with an addition-
al confidence that made him look like a tough combat adversary. Charlio was des-
tined for tho Will Rogers Field at Oklahoma City. He left here last Monday, -
arrived thore Thursday and took his tests. They did 50,000 feet in altitude,
among other things, and before he lmew it ho was on his way to Coffeyville. He
is to fly a P38 Photo Reconnaisance, and tho grapevile tells us that he is doggone
disappointed because there isn't a gun on the ship and he wanted to do some shoot~
ing, but they do say. that his ship is the fastest thing out of this world.

Charlio will be taking pictures and shooting a hen things toe machine gune,
but I'll bet his performance is as good in the air aos it wis on the backboards
and rebounds. (ood luék, Charlios |

Another recent visitor at the office was Major E. R. "adi" Elbel, a member
of our Physical Education staff who is now on leave for military service. Major
Elbel has just completed 4 two months course in New York City at the Institute for
Crippled and Disabled, and has written a manual on exercise for the use of men in
the rohabilitation program. Major Elbel's new assignment is in research in the
. school of aviation medicine at Randolph Fiold. Dr. Peter Xarpovitch, a former
classmate of Major Elbel's at Springfield College, Mass., is also associatod with
him in this imvortant rehabilitation work. |

Already the fighting Jayhawker K men are doing something about the second
generation of athletes at tha University of Kansas. Ensign and Mrs. J. Fred Harris
report the birth of Michael Frederick, weight 8 lbs. 8 oz., on May 26, in Kansas
City. Freddie was our star quartorback on the football team in 1933, '34 and '35,
vying with Ad Lindsay as one of the most versatile spiral punters of a long line
of Kansas gridiron kickers. Also, Ensign and Mrs. Howard Ingleman announce the
birth of an 8 lb. 8 oz. son, Howard Dodge Englicman. Howard was on the varsity
basketball toams of 1959, '40, and '41, and broke my scoring record of 27 points
when he scored 29 points in a Big Six game. ;

_ So Kansas will not need to worry about her oncoming future greats in an
athletic way. Congratulations to both the Englemans and sad Harrises. Long may

they aive and prosper$
