Dear Dr. Pfitseh:

I am delighted to reseive your good letter, and immensely pleased
te read of the citation for the Bronze Star Medal and the Oak Leaf
Cluster for Johmy. I have given this story to the University Daily
Kansan and when they print it I will send you a

our Jeyinwde Rebounds we Will — of this achievement for
John. fue

Of course, you can never tell how a newspaper reporter will write
up a story, and the saddest part of it is now that most of the students
who are in college now did not lmow the boys who were here just two years
ago. You have te give them the backcround and tell them all about where
the boys are from, their friends and associates and exploits while on the
campus. Neturally I gave the reporter a very fine story of John because
ee ee, ee ee ee, ee ey a
with enthusiasm and dispatch that pleased your heart.

Of course we will use this citation in the Jayhawk Rebounds, which
is the least we can do to show his friends and colleagues really what a
regular guy this fellow, Lieutenant Pfitech, oe
hazardous undertaking.

1 want to Shank you fur seniiing Gite he me, mat reskacmuved Unt i
