By the way, Bill Replogle gave me his brother Max's address. It is:

Lt. Max Replogle,
Naval Air Station,
Miami, Florida.

C. Sp. Freddie J. Harris, of the Naval Air station at Richmond, Florida,
writes as follows: "Max Replogle flew in at this base a week ago to see
me. When he landed the captain of our station met him at his plane, A SNJ3,
and brought him to the recreation building to see me. We had a fine visit
and enjoyed ourselves a great deal rehashing old times. He had to back me
up on the calibre of basketball played an Kansas. Before this visit I was
all alone in my arguments but since Max backed me up I've heard little
comment. Max is a senior grade lieutenant and looks fine. They consider
him the best fighter at Opalock air station." Max is doing in air fight-
ing what he did in football here at K.U.

Pvt. Hoyt Baker, Hoyt, we were glad to have your letter
Battery A, 14th Bn., 2nd Plat., of May 24th. Charlie Moffett is a dandy
Fort Eustis, Virginia. boy. He played in the intramural

victory tournament and showed up
splendidly. We will start our summer school basketball practice sometime
after July 12. Sparky McSpadden is the only one of the varsity men who
will be wack in summer school. Sparky is a chemical engineer. We are taking
a lot of 16 and 17 year-olds, and will teach them the fundamentals. I
am writing Dr. Jessen telling him of the fine possibilities Charlie Moffett
has.

Now, regarding the gold basketballs and sweaters. I was down to see

Mr. Julius Marks, and Mr. Marks tells me that the die-cutter has shingles.
If you don't know what shingles is, ask a doctor, or ask anyone who has

had them, and he will tell you it is H-E-doubleQ. The balls will be coming
along soon. You pray for the die-cutter's early recovery, and we will

see that each and everyone of the boys' desires are followed regarding the
disposition of their particular gold basketball. In regard to the sweaters,
the measurements have been coming in so slowly that I am still holding

them until I can get them all and then turn them over to Earl Falkenstien.

We will have something on this in next month's letter.
