Sunday in Leavenworth I have been doing some traveling. From Ft. Leaven-
worth I went back to Texas for aout two weeks - then to Camp Davis,

Ne C. , for 6 weeks. Then to Orlando, Fla., for 10 days, and then to
Camp Edwards, where I arrived July 4. . . . We sleep under blankets every
night. . . Most of the Kansas men that I have met have been from Kansas
State. But we're all on the same side in this game."

Pvt. Devid L. Shirk, Dave says, "I want to thank you for
52nd Bn., Co. C, 4th Plat., your Rebounder. I have been wondering
Camp Wolters, Texas. just what some of the fellows have
been doing ever since this mess
started." |
Pvt. Hoyt Baker, Hoyt says,"I run into a captain (James
140th Bn., B Battery, K. Hitt) who was registrar at school
AAA Gun Bn. (MBL), last year before he resigned. He
Camp Edwards, Mass. ' was the fellow who was with Capt.

Smith that Sunday afternoon you
took us to Leavenworth. I had quite a talk with him yesterday morning. .
Thanks again for the good news letter. I read it over almost every day."

Ads John Dewell, V-12, USNR Johnny Dewell is a brother of Billy
132 S. Columbia, Dewell, the all-American end at S.M.U.
Chapel Hill, N. c. and all-American forward in basketball

at the same place. Johnny spent one
semester here his freshman year last fall. He says, "The school here
is very nice and I like the Navy very much. My onky regret is that I
couldn't have been sent to K.U." Johnny was one of our star fullbacks
on the football team and a star guard on the frosh basketball s quad.

A/S Jesse Paul Turner, | Paul writes: "I received the Jayhawk
V-12 Unit, USNR, Rebounds yesterday. I might say I
Room 218 Talcott Hall, sure appreciated it. It built up my
Oberlin College, morale a little, don't you know. It
Oberlin, Ohio. Makes a fellow feel pretty good when

he knows what the other fellows are
doing right along. As for study, I am doing more than I ever thought that
Paul Turner would do in his life. Everyone in the program is teking
19 hours . . . Physics is the only subject that is bothering me so far. .
Tell everyone in the P. E. department hello for me, and any of my other
friands that still are there." Well, Paul, there aren't many fellows
left, except of course, as you know, Henry Shenk, Reg Strait and Dean
Nesmith.
