6. Bernie's older brother, LT. JOSEPH P. DAY JR. of the Army Medical Corps is living with them. Joe, who is waking in the Surgeon General's office bumped into Mary Irwin in Washington recently, ,and as they have known each other since they were so high they exchanged a friendly embrace, but was Joe's face red when he got to his office and his secretary advised him in a voice coated with suspicion that he had a nice cupid's bow of lipstick on his manly cheekll Three cheers for PVT. MARTIN J. FINAN who, although he is overseas, remembered to show his Mother he; remembered her on Mother's Day, Mrs. Finan received a beautiful plant and a nice cablegram, so no wonder that slogan "Say It With Flowers" never had a bigger meaning. CPL. DONALD COOPER seems to be walking his way into the Air Force but we know he'll get there eventually. Poor Don just panted in after another 30 mile hike. We can't say just where he is, he's moved so often but every time he is transferred he arrives just in time to join the new boys on maneuvers, LT. JOSEPH A. BENNETT has finished four weeks at Ft, Monmouth and is now in Philadelphia at the Signal Supply Center, Commuting home from there isn't bad except Joe will only be there four weeks also, Nice home town reunion for PFC. JOSEPH BAILEY. When Joe was in Denver Colorado, a couple of weeks ago he visited JACK HOMEY and his wife. May we say "a couple of Honeys?" The Cornwall family are walking on air and sprouting wings these days. Can't blame them for being proud because their only son and heir. Clift Jr., sprouted his wings too on June 15th, SONNY C0R1WALL is waiting to be somewhere for further training, so periiaps he'll manage to sandwich in a few days at the old homestead en route, Here«s news of another old pal, ROSS CUMMINS is now at O.C.S. Adjutant General's School down at Ft, Washington, Maryland, Study, hard, Ross, and don't forget to turn the charm on Teacher, PVT. CARL DINGER has applied for O.C.S. but in the meantime isn't letting much moss roll under the stones (or something like that) . Carl says the R.O.T.C, course at Rutgers is doing well by him and his. outfit parades so smartly they've even been mistaken for West Pointers - and that, as you know, is going some, PVT. WALTER ER1CKS0N of the U.S.M.C. has finished training at Parris Island and arrived home June 19th to spend ten days. Just as well Walt decided to spend some of the time down on the Jersey Shore because his Father and Mother were so delighted to see him they shot the works on coupons the first week he was home, LT. JOHN H. GI1MQRE has his wings now and is soon to start at Gunnery School, which sounds as though Jack would be a menace in the air any month now. And thank you PVT. ROBERT HAMBRIGHT, Bob says he wades through our every word as it's the only way he.has of keeping track of his fighting friends.
PVT. ROBERT FETTER is literally doubling in brass while fighting war. Bob is v in the camp band out at Iowa City and has sent a hurry call home for his trusty trombone. In the meantime he's filling in for the bugler who is a temporary casualty. PVT. BENJAMIN HELLER is thriving even, though we can't say -what climate agrees with him. Ben likes swimming in the Mediterrean and has gained 15 pounds in tspite of all the hard work, AVIATION CADET "MAC" ERIE will be just another old salt if he isn't transferred soon, Mac is some where in sunny California where the thermometer wilts at around 140°P daily and, also daily, he and the other fliers eat from five to fifteen salt tablets regularly. We bet PFC. CLARENCE B, HOKE JR. is a bit weary of sun too, Clarence has seen real action in Tunisia, although we couldn't tell what he's doing now even if we know. Let's hope it's resting, though. SGT. JAMES M. GROSSMAN is a lucky bird. <strong>No</strong>t only is he enjoying the scenery deep in the heart of Victoria, Texas, but his wife is there to share it all with him, A/S JOHN D. VOORHEES has completed his boot training at Manhattan Beach, (You missed an opportunity if you failed to look up our scriirc's husband LT. COM. FRENCH, Jack, If so it's too late now because Jack has been sent to Maryland for a few months additional training,) PVT. HAROLD B. GARRABRANT's Mother was nice enough to to ing in one of Harold's "V" letters for us to read. He's well and happy and says the meals are very good, CORP. DONALD H. SHOFFSTALL's family were baffled and bewildered when they received the annual report of the American Red Cross of Wayne County, F.C. Couldn't imagine why they'd been so honored until they discovered that the cover had been painted by son Don, He is quite an artist in addition to being a top notch engineer and soldier. While convalescing in the Wayne County Hospital Don sketched his fellow patients, nurses and doctors so well that the towns people heard about it. By the time Cpl, Shoffstall left for Mississippi he also left behind a, trail of original drawings of the homes, hunting dogs and landscapes for the residents, LT. PRESTON T. COURSES" writes from Camp Hale, Colorado, that while they had no snow in February there is plenty there now, Pete is with the ski troops and even with the sun out it is so cool they can never work up a good lather. We always said there's no place like home, CAPTAIN THOMAS'ALOYSIUS O'LOUGHLIN's gain is our loss. Mrs, O'Loughlin and the children have banked the home fires and gone to join him in a beach house at Atlantic Beach, N.C. Sfee was a tireless worker for the A.W.V.S. (See Cupid's Corner for further O'Loughlin news) LT. .GEORGE H. PENDERGAST may be in Missouri but he's one boy who doesn't have to be shown. His engineering outfit knows all the answers,' so one of their duties is to show the Missourians how to cope with the flood aftermath. Everything is under control now although still on the damp side.
