To Major R. EB. Weinzettel, APO 133, New York , my good friend from Medart's in

St. Louis, Mo. Congratulations, Roy, on your majority. I knew you had the stuff.
I appreciate your sending me the Stars and Stripes, as have many of my other
friends. They are alwavs interesting, these overseas letters of yours.

To Capt. S. Mi Chambers, APO 339, New York - Stew, I enjoyed your swell letter
immensely. The last report we had Capt. Paul Harrington was with the 77th Evac.
Hospital. Hope you can locate this swell guy who played on three Missouri Valley
championship teams. .

Stew,’ I will always remember with delight our associations when you were on
our varsity, and later when you were off, Mrs. Allen is fine, Jane is married and
has a baby girl, Jill. Her husband is Lt. Elwood Mons - we call nim "Hoot", and
he is a Navy flier. Mit is married, of course, and has a red-head six yoars of
age - Judy. Isabelle is going to be a widow now because Mit is a Lieutenant (jg)
in the Navy, and reports at Boston, Mass., on March 23. Bob is interning at Bell
Memorial Hospital and will be in the Army Medical Corps July 1st with the rank of
first lieutenant. Eleanor will be homo from Philadelphia April 9, and Mary with
her brood is. out at Palo Alto, California. ; -

This past week they nominated me for councilman in the first ward. Besides
being in Red Cross work, Selective Service, and a lot of other things, I am keep-
ing fairly busy, but.I always like to hear from my boys who through the years
have been a great joy to me. I am unopposed in the April drd general. election,
so I think I may win this one!

Good luck to you, Stew, and tromp the dickens. out of the krauts.

Capt. Kennoth C. Johnson, APO 557, New York, writes; “Have been receiving
your Jayhawk Rebounds and I enjoy it very much. There has been a little delay in
its receipt due to the incorrect address. I have been at the above address for a
year now and my job is sub-depot engineering officer at o B-17 base."

From Lt. Comdr. iW. H. "Bill" Shannon, Navy Supply Corps School, Soldiers Field,
Boston, Masse: "I am glad to see your expanded interest in community affairs. .»
Lots of luck. . . Things are per usual with me. I am still at the Supply Corps
School - am tied up with the Contract Termination and Surplus Disposal program of
training officers. Sea duty or foreigh duty look dim, but I still hope to share
the hardships with my friends and past students. I have tried so hard, but one
must take orders. . ." Bill enclosed a clipping from the New York Times, and
offered commiserations on our failure to win the Big Six title, but he assuaged our
feelings with many soothing words.

From Lt. K. iis "Kenny" Keene, APO 235, Son Francisco: "I received the last Re-
bounds a few days ago and noticed Lt. Evelyn Herriman was with the 44th Gen. Hosp.
We have a lot of our boys up there. .. . We cai.e in the assault waves in the first
landings in the Philippines. A week or so before landing I ran into Lt. (jg) Dean
Brooks, a Lawrence boy, we had a fine chat and he told me that Johnny Krum was
nearby so the next day I took a L.C.V.P. over to Johnny's ship. We had a swell
time recalling all of F.U.'s ball players and where they are located. + « - I've
watched K.U. ball games since I was 12 years old and ushered for Sgt. Kollender.
Shivers run up and down my spine when I think of that moment of silence before
every game. .« . . There are a number of anti-aircraft outfits here in the Pacific
area. Weare in third place for total number of Jap planes knocked down and we
are only six planes behind the leaders. The boys ard myself get a real kick out
of seeing a Jap plane burst into flames and fall to the ground.. . .
