1928
It's hard to concentrate at the typewriter on the eve of leaving for Hanover for the '28 reunion and the Princeton game. The demand for tickets for the game was so great that only a few '28ers received reserved seats in the concrete stands, the rest got rush seats behind the goal posts. Georgeand Eleanor Klein arrived from Pittsburgh this afternoon and will drive to Hanover with us.

Phil MacKown doesn't write often but when he does it is fascinating reading. I wish there was enough space to print the whole letter, but unfortunately there isn't. Phil had been a field representative for Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Company at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida for the past eight years. He was assigned to the Turkish Air Force at Eskisehir, where he worked only with Turkish personnel. With the exception of five Peace Corps teachers, Phil and his wife were the only Americans in the city. They made many friends and hoped to spend the next four years there, but in July, after only ten months in Turkey, they moved to Libya, where Phil is assigned to Wheelus Air Force Base, just outside of Tripoli. Their older daughter, Carol, was married May 9 to Nick Gentile, a pilot for Delta Airlines. Patti, their younger daughter, is with them in Libya.
