SERVICE: Because of the very nature of the war effort most of the stations of the boys as listed below have undoubtedly changed since I have learned of their location, and the movement has been so fast in many instances that I never have caught up with them, so only the branch of service is shown. 1940 is training all over the 48 States, and fighting on world-wide frontsthese facts are evidenced by the partial listing of those in the service. At the U. S. Naval Air Station at Corpus Christi, Texas, are Bill Squier and Cal Bowie-, they are in advanced training, after having started at the center at Jacksonville, Florida, with Gerry Sullivan and Roy Merchant. FredEaton is a 1st Lt. in Army Air Corps, in charge of a flying fortress at a place outside the Continental U. S. Ensign Lee Brekke was last at Ft. Schuyler in NYC, with WillPitz.

Stu MacPhail is training for flight engineering in Cal. at United's Boeing school; Stu writes that his last report on Ave Maxson was that he was teaching History to the lads on the USS Quincy.
