I've been very busy ever since I left Camp Grant and haven't had time to write sooner but it's better late than never. • - I had my basic training at St. Petersburg, Fla., after which I was sen', to Gulfport Field to attend airplane mechanics school. We go to school from 6 am. utnil 12 noon and have pretty rugged , physical training in the afternoon. The school consist.; of a complete course in certain types of cargo planes. It's almost time for that bugle to blow, -vhich means lights out. So thanks a million for the Plaindealer and everyone in the service will agree with me when I say it's a real friend. Sincerely, DON HETTERMANN, Gulfport Field, Miss. Dear Mr. Mosher: I'll write you a few lines to thank you for the Plaindealer which I have been getting every week. I really look forward to our Monday noon mail call when I receive the Plaindealer'and can sit down and read all the news from McHenry. My stay is just about up here, where I have been receiving-my prieaviation basic training. Our training here consists mainly of lectures o mathematics, map reading, astron-r omy, navigation, public speaking and weather, which yre subjects we will! deceive in college. Following our lec-! ture^, we'have an hour of drilling and two hours of physical training which closes our day's work.

Dear Sir: I wish to express my sincere thanks to you and all who made it possible for me to receive the McHenry Plaindealer every week. It has meant a greaj deal to me and brought me t'marriy' happy moments. I also wish to have you discontinue sending me' the paper until further notification. This week concludes my •raining in pre-meteorology at the University of N. Carolina. As yet, I do not know definitely toa what university I will be transferred for further training in meteorology.

Dear Sirs: I wt.nt to, first of all, express my gratitude by thanking you for send-1 i n g i n e t h e p a p e r w e e k l y , t h r o u g h mv j stage c.f training at Iowa pre-flight I to date. It is indeed a great pleasure to learn of current events about the home town. The latest news about j my frineds, classmates, etc., who are; a l s o in t h e s e r v i c e -- t o l e a r n t h e i r j achievements where they are, have gone, and pf some of the articles of interest which they have related to you. My sole regret is that I had not written to you sooner. The only ex-, cuse which I have to offei; is that the' life of an aviation cadet in a pre-1 flight school is not very dull. In fact I might go so far as to say that during my training at pre-flight I have seldom had what might be termed leisure moments. I had put off this letter to you until it reached the point where I thought that I might just as well wait until I got ^o my next base, which this is, f so that I might "kill two birds with j one stone" by sending you my new j address along with my expression of ? apprecation for your thoughtfulness toward a serviceman away from home.! You might be interested in just] what type of training I have received J to d a t e . Well, it all s t a r t e d for me J 'way back on Sept. 11, 1942, when : I enlisted. I did nothing until Dec. 7, when I received my orders to report to Waukasha, Wis., for primary flight training. There we had an awful lot of bad weather. In fact we flew with, skiis through the whole course. It j took us twelve weeks to finish an i feight-week course, after which we had thirty-five hours to our credit. I was then sent to Wisconsin again for my secondary flight training at | Curtiss V&ight in Milwaukee. This ! was the "real McCoy," for here we ' had bigger, faster planes and we re- ! ceived quite a thorough ^ourse in aeroi batics, which really are both interest- J ing and exciting. When I had left ! Milwaukee to go to Iowa pre-flight I had the grand total of severfty-eight ; hours behind me with a rating of from 0-330 H. P. At Iowa we did not do any flying, just ground school, of which the main part was sports. Now, however, that is all over and I pan again fly and I really enjoy it. So long for now and thanks again for the paper. Sincerely, A7C LEO GERLACH, Minneapolis. Minn. St. John's Catholic Church, Johnsburg 1 Masses: Sunday: 8:00, 10:00. Holy Days: 7:00 and 9:00.
