1941

It is a small world—especially in Washington. One day not long ago I was just about to lift my bride and carry her across the threshold of our new home, when I noticed a well-worn grey Ford sporting a flock of Dartmouth stickers pull into the parking space next to me. Out hopped Lt. "Cam" Hosmer and wife. Our surprised and noisy greeting stopped sidewalk passers-by, particularly after we discovered we lived in the same building. "Cam" is with the Signal Corps, stationed temporarily in Washington, and is in the same office with Lt. George Baine.

DESERVED DECORATION

A few months ago we learned that Larry Dwyer had been decorated by the Army, and now another of our flying classmates, Lt. Dick Shedden AAF joins that select group. Dick received the Army Air Medal for gallantry in action. Congratulations fella'—we're certainly proud of you.
