lith Air Depot Group, Dear Doc:
12th Air Force, Received the October 30th issue of
APO 520, New York. your “Rebounds” and it was a dandy.

Thanks for putting me on the mailing list.
Yours is a splendid information sheet and was beaucoup interesting to
hear what the fellows are doing. I guess most of the K.U. fellows are
in the Pacific. I saw Herb Hartman about a year ago over in Africa but
he is about the only one from K.U. that I have seen.

Have little time for organized athletics as we play nursemaid to trucks
seven days a week, Finally got up a little football league and I was
given the dubious honor of headlinesman. It had been so long since I
had had any contact with the game that it took me a half to figure out
what was going one Guess I didn't pay enough attention from were I
"sat" at all the games when I was in collitche Good luck to your team
this season and keep the Rebounds coming.

John Naramore. "

Lieutenant John Naramore, with the Eddie Cantor eyes, played in that
sterling drama, The Drunkard, a few years age. And did he steal the showé
Johnny, we are tickled to death that you are fighting this war so success-
fully. When you run across Herbie Hartman again tell him to send us his
address and we will send him a Jayhawk Rebounds. Old Herb was 4 great chap,
and we are counting on that reunion in the not too far distant future.

MTB Ron 20, ; Dear Doc:

c/o Fleet Postoffice, Greetings to you and the staff from
San Francisco, California. Aloha Land. Doubtless this will find you

steering the boys to another championship,
while yours truly is putting in the licks toward a championship that will
take some time to realize. Yes, Doctor, I'm at the fighting front and
have been for some time. As I told you when I saw you last May, I'm riding
a PT boat and we're not looking for Derothy Lamours when we buzz around these
so-called "glamorous islands" of the Pacifice In fact we patrol all night
every other night and on our nights off we are bombed, so you see that it is
sort of hard to keep up on one's sleep.

During my step by step trip out here, I ran into Gene Haynes. Gene is a
Lawrence boy and a K.U. grad who is doing very well by himself. [fe is a

Lte (je) and assistant navigator aboard the battleship, Alabama. Ietor,

I've chucked one baseball game out heree Aside from handling my boat and
squadron navigation duties, I handle the recreation for the squadrone
Naturally for no reason other than it is always warm out here, I included

a whole supply of baseball equipment in our outlay of recreationalp supplies.
In the one game that we played out here, we managed to eke a 6 to 5 wine
When we are relieved for a rest period, I intend to get back in shape for a
few more gameSe

Since this is our night to patrol, I must close to get in some "sack time".
Doctor, I really would appreciate receiving your monthly news letter and
would you say helle for me to Mrs. Hulteen, Mrs. Webster, and Mr. Falken-
stiene Please give my congratulations to Henry Shenk on the victory over

Missoue

Sincerely,

Knute Kresie."
