also high, and he made some new records there in the various sports and
obstacles, but of course in some of those cases the competition was perhaps
limited."

Ensign Paul 0. Masoner, "After 18 months as a chief, I was very
A.S.W.T.C. - N.O.B., proud to put on the "gold stripe” of an
Norfolk ll, Va. ensign early in October, I'm still engaged

in anti-submarine warfare at the Norfolk
Naval Training School. The work is really quite interesting. Margie, Paula
Sue and I are quite pleasantly situated here. One redeeming feature of Nor-
folk is that practically everyone in the Navy hits Norfolk at one time or
another. We've seen a big number of former K.U. people and have really en-
joyed having them drop in."

A/S Je P. Turner, Paul says, “I don't expect to be here
Group A, Navy V-12, very long; in fact, I will be leaving
Barracks 08-4-20, sometime soon for midshipman's school
Norfolk Navy Yard, either at Columbia or Northwestern.
Portsmouth, Virginia. There are 3700 graduates of the first

V-12 class here awaiting for midshipman's
schools to open."

A/c Charles Black, "Last Friday I was walking out of the ready
Class 44 BE, Fleet BE, Sqdn. 3, room and who should I run into but Vance
10th A.A.F.F.T.D., Morton Air Hall. He is a civilian instructor here.

read. He indicated he would like to be
added to the mailing list. I guess a person can always run into a Kansas
man no matter where he goes. . . .« I want to wish you and the boys the very
best of luck this season. . . Tell old'Nes*® to fight 'em."

Pvt. Hoyt Baker, "This afternoon Lt. Paul Hardman and his
Btry. B, 140th AAA. Bn., wife came up to the barracks to see me.
Fort Bliss, Texas. It was really swell to see Paul again.”

Ensign Ralph E. Schaake, "You probably remember a boy by the name of
1117 Orange Ave., Bob Boylan. He played with St. Joseph's
Ft. Pierce, Florida. with Senesky. He is an assistant boat

group commander and well worthy of his job.
I am in the same boat group as he is. Alan Houghton is down here and I see
him quite often. . . . Here in the sunny south it has been ideal for fishing
and swimming and good some days for a real sunburn." Ralph was married last
October 10th in Norfohk and he and his wife are living in Fort Pierce, Fla.
