This is to notify you of the organization of the Dartmouth Club of Germany with headquarters here in Wiesbaden. I suppose we should call it the Dartmouth Club of Wiesbaden, but we didn't want leave anyone out. Capt. Karl (Moose)Musser is the ranking officer from all intents and purposes and also will be the first one home. Right now he is sojourning on the snowy slopes of Switzerland instead of being behind his desk as Assistant Wing A-2 of this headquarters. The only other Indian in this burg is Al Rose, a Signal Corps shavetail. There were three other Dartmouth men on board the ship which brought me over: Tim Takaro '42, a Medical Officer and now rented to be at Bad Kissingen; Bud Parks '44, an wineerine officer and married; and Bert Kter'42, a Tech Supply Officer. The last two /re most likely in the Munich _ area at present. There are two others near here in Army Airways Communications System. Dud Wilson is just outcile Paris as a crypto officer and waiting to go home, having been near London for well over a tear Tom Cro-wder is working with GCA some nkce over here. He flew across early in December and walked into our office the one morning that I happened to be out, only to have to leave immediately, so I haven't seen him. The last I heard, Rill turpin was with the sth Amphibious Corps in the Marines and sweating out the peace with he others in Japan. I may stay over here m the Army and finish up college at the University of London or at one of the Swiss Universities.
