Larry Henderson, infantry Captain, has written from the Dallas headquarters of the Bth Service Command where he has something to do with Intelligence. He travels considerably and gets over most of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and New Mexico. If any Twoters come within range of Dallas be sure and give Larry a ring. The Henderson family are all together including young Charlie, about 3, Janet 11, and Larry 14.

In a bit of reminiscing, Larry and I have been trying to remember the members of the first squad of the famed Company I in those S.A.T.C. days. We believe that Johnny Johnson, Sterry Waterman and Lester Sherburne strode in the ranks of that select group along with Larry and me. Who else can lay claim to membership in that six foot squad? Write, wire or phone!

I spent a very pleasant.evening with Harry Wellman, Bell Telephone man, o£ Pittsburgh in mid January. We hadn't seen each other since the days we were on the famous dishscriming team at the Wheelock Club along with Russ Putney at al, and the evening provided a swell start tor reminiscing. Harry and his family are all musical. Kathleen plays the piano, Mary Jean, 19, and Bobby, 14, dance and play the sax, while Pop wields a mean pick on the banjo.

Friends of Shep Naylor will be glad to know that after a long siege of severe illness he is now at home for a recuperative period of two or three months before resuming his job with Armstrong Linoleum. We wish him well in his recovery.
