Dear Dr. Allen:

I ran into Lt. Bob Trump here in Boston, in fact he is on temporary
duty with the same installation to which I am assigned. He happened
to have a copg of your "Jayhawk Rebounds" with him and I really got
a big kick out of finding out where a lot of the fellows I went
through school with had ended up in the service. If it is possible
I would like very much to be put on the mailing list. I was not
active in athletics while I was in school but always followed the
teams closely. The eastern papers evidently don't give much space
to the Big Six sports and it is next to the real thing to be able
to read your account of the highli#ghts of the games.

From all appearances I am going to be one of those few guys who
spend most of my thmhe fighting the war from this side of the water.
Am at present assigned to the Post of Embarkation with no hopes

for a change of scenery at least for some little time to come.

I haven't heard anything of Bob (Allen) in some time now. He and
I played a lot of golf gogether in the summer of '41 while I was
attending summer school. I went into the army only a couple of
months after that and lost track of him completely.

My kindest regards to Mrs. Allen, E&@eanor, and the rest of the
family.

Yours sincerely,
WILLIAM W. OLIVER, '41
