Mrs. Pillar deserves accolades for courage in the face of ex* treme pain .and anguish^ Her back injuries were quite extensive. Mrs. Betts underwent surgery on her injured arm, a week ago Thursday, for removal of glass and having the wound scraped. The job done by the surgeon was so beautiful, she may not require skin graft, and we sincerely hope this is so. Her/devoted husband, Ken, is pleased with the results to date. He has also been "a bulwark to both women during their time of travail and earns the title of real hero.

A HEART BREAKING BLUNDER Can you realize the astonishment and horror that Jake and I suffered last Saturday when we received communication from a high ranking officer of Staging Battalion, Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton, Calif., informing us that our son, L/Cpl. Jeff Levesque has been declared a deserter, since March 27, 1968! On this date, for the retriciarfs school and shipped out for Vietnam, April 4. As of Nov. 5 he will have 7 months duty in the far east and is on the homeward leg! ' * Granted, the letter is a form letter with our names and addresses typed in, the letter was no'less shocking. The penalties for this crime were out- , lined in detail. Since the "criminal's" parents are ; portn members of the Armed Services >- retired -- Jake as Lt. Cmdr. USNR and this reporter mustering outas,A.M.M. 2/C (Aviation Machinist's Mate 2/C) you can appreciate our alarnu J.R.'s big sister, Chrys, will receive her commission as second Lt., USAF, NOV. 6 at Ldck- .; land Air Force Base, Sah Art-.: tonio, Texas. We are proudly displaying our two star flagr| in our living room, window! A copy of the letter was also.) sent to the Commandant of the; Murine Corps, Washington,D.B C„ his service record book, Pentagon, the 6th Marine District, AND the Chief of Police in McHenry.' In the letter of identification,, jjr. was listed as Private Levesque when he enjoys the title of Lance Corporal. He was one of 27 of a crew of 300 who received the title of PFC right out of boot camp. He received the advancement of Lance Corporal shortly after graduation from electrician's school in the south. Our son Jeff will learn of this big "boo-boo" when he reads it in the Plaindealer when : he receives it in Vietnam. According to his father, there has always been a feud between the Navy and the Marine corps and Jake says, "They don't recognize their posterior from an excavation!" Mom doesn't agree. In the same mail on Satur-( day, we received a letter from' Jeff, one of many from Vietnam,1 where he is trying to serve his country, including pictures" of his compound and his hooch (living quarters). This reporter was extremely grateful to the McHenry Police department for not setting up a "stake out" on our premises, hoping to trap the culprit! We would be happy to have him home, but not under those circumstances! Father Jake contacted Camp Pendelton on Saturday by phone and we were assured that letters of apologies would be sent to all parties contacted. We hope they will be forthcoming.
