I'd like to see all of us in one camp just for a get-together. There is another thing I miss this winter which is the bowling alleys. Can't bowl so hot but sure love to try to keep them out of the gutter. The guys in my barracks here are like the fellows back home, regular sports. Would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people for the cards and letters, especially around Christmas as it makes a feUow, feel more close to home just to hear from peo1- pie you know. I don't expect to be in Fort Bragg much longer as our training ends in thirteen weeks so I'm living in hopes that they give me a furlough before long. Would like to get up into Johnsburg to taste some of that good old beer. Well, so long for now, Earl, this lights out business kind of cuts things short around here. Best^ regards from Fort Bragg, TED PITZEN. , Well, Ted, the fireworks in some of those Johnsburg-McHenry games was probably gcod training for your present job. We like your comparison of the noise. The bowling alleys aren't the same since all of you fellows have left the community. You miss the alleys. We miss the pins! Thanks for writing, Ted, and good luck.
