II I really don't know why I should be the one to write this, in so many words - I know others feel the same way. While recieving the "Scuttle Butt" it helped keep some of you old chums in mine, yet very few ever wrote to one another. However I really don't think anyone ever snub the other because he was of a higher rank or anything most of us, thought we wrote enough when we wrote to our folks, girlfriends and wifes but the ScuttleButt did more for the fellows, then it ever was express, by writing or feeling. It was another important letter we looked for. Myself I like to know what was happening to the W.H.S. class of 1936 So many things have happen since then, yet it was only yesterday when "Moon" Richardson "Tuck" Tucker, Matt [Redlinger?] "Skeets" Dougall were out on the football field in that last high school game. The rest of us were there I can't remember them all of course "Jiggs" [Maugold?] came out the last year, finally - I'd rather not mention the rest. I was there some place
