ever now with all those new trappings.

Capt. E. B. DeGroot, Captain DeGroot visited here May 21
Hq. 4th Air Force, and 22, and was in our home over-
180 New Montgomery St., night. We are hoping the same good
San Francisco, Calif. luck will come to Capt. DeGroot as

has come to Major Elbel.

Paul Turner dropped in the office just before leaving for Oberlin College
where he will be quartered July 1. He tells me that Ensign Knute Kresie
is now Navigation Officer and captain of his squadron. Knute promised
to send us a card giving his address, and when and if he does send it

we will send Knute one of these letters.

Wayne “Bill” Replogle, C. Sp., writes us from Wabash College, Crawfords-
ville, Indiana, where he is doing a swell job. We are always delighted
to hear from happy, aggressive and éfficient Chief Bill.

Lieut. William G. Wade, Congratulations, Bill, on your winning
Air Corps, Class 43-F, your wings! Bven though you could not
Stockton Field, stay after your freshman year, your
Stockton, Calif. accomplishments are splendid. Keep

‘em flying, Bill, and drop plenty of
hate on the squareheads, spaghetti-benders and slit-eyes. Thank you for
sending me the tear sheet from the Los Angeles Examiner, the sports
colum “To The Point" by Al Santoro. I enjoyed it, I assure you.

S/Sgt. Armand L. Dixon, Armand Dixon writes, "I am up for
Battery D, l03rd C.A. Tr. Bn., overseas shipment, so I get a five day
Camp McQuaide, Calif. furlough starting the 19th of June. .

Yesterday we took a 20 mile hike in
four hours. I guess we'll get plenty of hiking when I go to 0.C.S. in
the infantry." | .

Ralph H. Miller, ~ Ralph "Cappy" “iller states, "Ray
N.C.0.P.T.T.S., Evans and I hope to be at Scott Field.
Barracks 5, B.T.C. 4, I think the air corps does a very
Miami Beach, Florida. good job with physical training, con-

sidering the great numbers and lack
of facilities they have had to work with. . . They have some mighty fine
fellows down here in school. I ran into John Kline and Spike Robertson
here in Miami. John had just gotten in from Cuba after 10 months at
sea. They are both here in sub-chaser school. . . It is amazing how you
run into K.U. people everywhere you go."

U.S.S. Farragut, April 7th and has been at sea since

c/o Fleét Postmaster, that time. Don completed gunnery and

favor, and how quickly and happily wéagranted it.
