1934*

Thanks to the 153 early birds who have already sent in their class dues, I have enough news to fill several columns. Our space is limited, though, so I'll pass along that news which is almost old stuff before it gets to you news of the gang in the many branches of the Service. I may not even get all of that in this month's notes. And if I have failed to mention that long letter you wrote me to bring your vital statistics up-to-date, you'll know why. Here's the story in dehydrated form.

Lt. (j.g.) Stu Barber, for some years an analyst in Washington, is back in Hanover for a P.G. in Navy. He's in the Indoctrination School.

Lt. Harry Brague, breaks a long silence with: "Your bill was finally received and is now bearing fruit, such as it is. Was drafted in March, 1941, and finally went to Infantry School at Ft. Benning (along with Bob Wiggins), where I got my commission. Am now instructing jiu-jitsu and 'tommy gun!' Ain't it amazing? Am still single through no fault of mine but it looks as though the handwriting might be about to appear on the wall."

With that army training, the "Hand-writing-on-the-wall" part really has something to look forward to.

Corp. Floyd C'ushman USMC is stationed at Camp Elliot, San Diego, as an instructor in the Q.M. school.

Lt. Russ Davis AVS is in office of Quartermaster General at Washington: "In Virginia last winter for a few weeks and then to Camp Edwards with 26th Division. Ordered to Washington in April; still here but no telling how long."

Sey Dunn reported by Don Allen and Em Day to be heading for the Navy in October. No story yet on how he made out.

Lt. Milt Fabricant, who I believe is with the Army Medical Reserve Corps, is reported now to be in New Caledonia.

Lt. (j.g.) Jack Fogarty is at sea. Swede Lindstrom writes, "In your 'New Arrivals Department' you can report the advent of Johanna Fogarty, born Oct. 27th. She's a cute one and mother and daughter are doing fine. So far we don't know if Jack is aware of his fatherhood. Washington was supposed to radio him the glad tidings and we assume they did." And I thought I had problems just a year ago when I spent a trying night in a hospital waiting room. Moe Frankel has been appointed assistant field director of the Military Force Command of the American National Red Cross and is scheduled to be assigned to an overseas site in a few weeks or less. Looks as though old baldy will be backing up a new kind of line in a game where they play for keeps. But he plays to win, and a guy like that comes in handy.

Pvt. Harry Gilmore AAF, 563 Rd TSS (sp), Flight B, is at Atlantic City. "I've been here only five days and the schedule has consisted entirely of basic drill, exams and lectures on general army hygiene and the like. At least the Air Force has the best quarters and chow."

Sgt. Dick Gruen, 379 Base H.Q. and Air BaseSq., is still at Miami Beach. As of Nov. Ist, he is in O.C.S. (Air Corps Administration). Lt. (j.g.) Dick Hardt is in the Aviation Supply Office, Naval Aircraft Factory, Philadelphia Navy Yard.

Bud Hart is with the Army Transport Service at the New York Embarkation Center in Brooklyn, waiting to be assigned to a ship.

A letter from Mrs. E. G. Healey reports: "My son, Grant Healey, joined the army at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, last March 9th, was sent to Ft. Francis E. Warren at Cheyenne, Wyoming, to the Quartermaster Dept. Sent overseas, May 11. Present address: Pvt. Grant Healey 37149763 Q.M. Detachment, A.P.O. 922 c/o Postmaster, San Francisco, Cal."

O. C. Mike Joseph writes in from Camp Davis, North Carolina, where he is with the 27th Battery, and Platoon:

"Just a short note to keep you posted just finished my sixth week (V 2 way) of Officer's Candidate School, anti-aircraft artillery O Boy, is it tough take my word for it. "No individual course is difficult. It's just the damn routine no let up and you've got to be perfect all the time this 90 day wonder stuff is true you wonder how you'll last the 90 days. "By the way, before I get wound up, Gerald Hall Jerry to you '34 is a lieutenant stationed here and Capt. Ike Powers is here for a 10-week refresher course. So you see, the boys get around. "Had the softest job in the army down in Miami a corporal in the finance department with a beautiful ocean-front room and surrounded by luxuries. However, I couldn't stand prosperity, so decided to go out and do something for my country. Figured the AA was the most interesting and active, and baby, I was right. "We've been studying for six weeks now every angle of an AA battery, and next week we are finally going out for trial shot fire."

There's plenty more and we'll get it to you as soon as we can.

We had a good snow storm up here over the weekend. Temperature dropped to 12°, and a couple feet of snow blanketed Mt. Mansfield. We did our first bit of skiing. Reminded me that by the time most of you read this, Christmas will be close by or past. Right now the North African campaign has offered us the first really encouraging news of the war. And on top of that comes good news from the Solomons. Here's hoping 1943 will bring some order out of this mess and 1944 will bring a big gang back to Hanover for the 10th.
