We can appreciate what the boys over there - and over there - are doing
for use Sure, every one of those boys would rather have a golf club in their
hands, or some other fine recreational facility, than to be exchanging pot
shots with the enemy who may have their number on one of those shells. Chick,
we are proud of youe

Our good friend and Marine, Bill Winey, has been spending a couple of
weeks here in Lawrence, and playing golf with his many old friends at the
Lawrence Country Club. Bill is the house guest of Mr. and lirs. Harry Green
on the old California Road. To be specific, Harry Green lives in Major Art
Anderson's former home, and before that it was Jim Barrows' domicile. Jim
was one of the early Kansas Betas and an insurance man. ‘When I saw Bill last
week he was having a flare-up of malaria, but he acknowledged it was his own
fault because he could have controlled it had he taken his stipend of quinine.
Bill is looking fine and has had a great experience with the Japs, a la
Australia and New Guinea way.

In our last letter we told you of the arrival of Lt. (jg) Howard
Engleman's son. “Rope” expressed a splendid paternal and patriotic sentiment
when he wrote regarding his young son -- "I didn't hear about it until about
20 days later, but anyway you have a young Jayhawk for your 1962 team. .. .«
Hate to be so — away but if so ison will make a better world for him I
won't complain."

This week I received another letter from Howard, in which he says,
"Since I last wrote I ran into Knute Kresie who is exec. on a PT boat. We
had a long chat. Also saw a young Haines fellow who is Bob Haines younger
brother who lives close to yous I didn't remember him but I knew Bob and we
hashed over old Lawrence stories. It's sure fun to meet an old Jayhawker
out here in the Pacifice What a time we'll have when we all get back, and it
won't be to talk of landing at Tarawa or invading Normandy, but it will be
that overtime game with A. & M. and the rally against K-State at Manhattan
when we were 12 points behind and had 8 minures to go, and we licked them 4
points -- those events will haunt our memories.

"Doc, I'm not in such good shape being on a small ship with little shore
time available. It is very easy to overeat and under-exercise. However,

I play ball whenever I can and I still have that old love of the game that
time and wrinkles can't erase. It will be good to get back, so see if you all
at home can't hurry the day. If you ever go through Salina look up my son
and teach him to rebound while he's young.

Howard Dodge Engleman will certainly have a soft touch and lay-up if he
is like his daddy.

Our good friend and former coach of the Jayhawk golf team several years
ago, Lte Comdr. Wm. H. Shannon, Soldiers Field Station, Boston, writes --
"Your recent Jayhawk newsletter arrived just as I was leaving for New York -

@ short trip on business. Many thanks for it; I enjoyed reading it so much.
Peculiar thing happened - I read in it about Larry Hensley and within 25
minutes he was at my door ringing the bell. Larry left my class in December
1941 with Germain Morgan as enlisted men in the Navy. Today he is a Lt. (jg)
in the Navy Air Corps; he has seen plenty of northern duty and now he is bound
(fast) for the southern and eastern duty. He looked so good to me after almost
three yearse I derive so much personal satisfaction and pride in meeting
these few boyse I can imagine your pride of such a host of boys out in all
parts of the world. Ben Barteldes, Luke Chapin, and Bill Seitz are in our
present classe I turned over my complete file of Rebounds to Larry for
reading; I am keeping a close watch on them for future safe-keeping. Teaching

brings many real friends.
