Just as we are writing this letter to you we aro happy to receive a note from
Lec Huddleston from the Army air field at Liberal, Kepsas. Lee says, in part,
"T was just transferred here from Texas to learn how to fly B-24s, and my first
day on the field I ran into Ed Suagee, neither of us having seen the other since
Ht. Oread days back in '41. Of course the conversation drifted - I mean ran
headlong - to K.U., and he showed me a copy of your Rebounds which Bill Greene,
who was a ground school instructor of Ed's in basic flight training, had given
him. I found so many interesting items end familiar names that 1 wonder if I
could be put on the mailing list." Yes, indced, Lee, we are mighty happy to put
your name on the list.

TI was delighted to receive a letter from lh. W. Goodwin, formerly a practicing
attorney at Wellington, Kansas, and a great athletic fan, who is now an fmericen
Red Cross Field Director somewhere in England. "Goody" writes as follows: "We
have quite a number of Kansas men in our group. We desire to have at least. one
ship carry the fighting Jayhawk. Can you and will you send three or four illus-
trations of the fiercest, fightingest Jayhawks you can capture? Our Jayhawk will
see ond do plenty." :

We hope that the Jayhawks arrived, "Goody", in time to darry the fighting Jay=
hawkers over on /jidolph's beak. Adolph is catching plenty of H = E - double Q}-

s/Sgt. George Hulteen, c/o Postmaster, New York, has sent me from "somewhere
in India" a beautiful brass calendar for my desk. It is a perpetual calendar for
the vears' 1944 to 1971, and George says, "T sincerely hope that it has run a leng
course of usefulness bofore you give up coaching. We who have benefited by your
teachings look forward to the day when our youngsters can also: come under your
wing.” This is a wonderful souvenir, Ceorge, and I am delighted to have it on my
desk. Twenty-eight years is a long time, and if I stay here as long as same of
you boys scem to think, I willbe way past the rotiroment age.
