Dear Doc: -

Have just been reading over my file of Jayhawk
Rebaguils and certainly get a bang out of them. It's been
a full year now since I ran into a former K.U. athlete
and being able to read about all the guys I used to kick
around with fills a big gap.

Last Jayhawk athlete I saw was Norman Sanneman,
your wild man of a couple years back. He's a Civil Ingin-
eering officer and was apick to shove off with a SBAbees outfit.
Sanny was as verbose as ever. He's a dandy.

We're in port for a couple of days right now and are
taking it easy. The heat is terrific on this side of the
Equator, but the nights are wonderful. The tropics have
their points, although I haven't heard any of the guys coming
up with the idea that they'd like to stay in these parts |
after the war.

Hope your ball club is knocking them dead this
seanth. as they have done so often in the past. I haven't
seen any basketball since March of '43, when I was still
at Great Lakes.

Am attached to the staff of a flag officer and our
mailing address is the division designation, rather than the
name of the attack transport we are aboard. That address is:

Lieut. H.M., Mason

Transport Division 54( Staff)
c/o Fleet P.0., San Francisco

Trust that everything is well with you and your family.

along my regards to Mrs. Allen, Mitt and Bob,
