1931

Excerpts from Chas O'Neill's letter of October 5 are: "When you next hear of a Seventh Army affair count me as willing at least to send a salute. With battle stars from Italy, France, and Germany, I still remember the bedsheets hanging out the windows in Munich. Not particularly shot at except by V-1s just before the Ardennes strike. I was with Henry Hyde's (now Congressman Hyde from Illinois) OSS outfit, a part of the Seventh's G-2." I replied with a report of our division's action to show him where we might have been within shouting distance of each other in April/May 1945.1 also made a correction in my January issue Class Notes re: Joe Ruskay, where "Sixth Army" should have been "Sixth Army Group" which included the Seventh Army, of which my armored division was a part.

Vic King enjoyed our mini-reunion and promised to attend our next. He also reported that Elizabeth and Ed Maas said they would do their best to attend our 65th.

The evening after the Yale game I called the Conklins to hear the celebration, and talked with Anne and George, Patsy andBill Walsh, and Harriett and Jim Lyallall in great spirits.

From Red Chamberlin came: "Limited to words twenty-five If still alive I will attend sixty-five, And will be eighty-five. Don't on Bears or Bulls play Otherwise fairly okay."
