Thurs. Nite 4-27-44 Dear Dave, Hasn't been so long since I've seen you and only wish I had received some of your "Scuttlebuts" before so I could have told you how much I enjoy them. It's a swell idea Dave and I'm sure all the fellows like it as much as I do. It's news you wouldn't find even in the "Evening Journal" -guess the "Scuttlebut" standards are not as high- (no offense)- after all who cares about high standards unless you're buying a car or looking for a wife! You asked for correct addresses and mine is now 302nd Training Group Sheppard Field, Texas. There's nothing new to write about my activities. Looks like I'll be pounding a typewrite for the rest of the war, all because I'm now 1 inch too tall for a flight crew and a couple of pounds too light. It's a grand finale to 18 months of flying. I was darn sorry that I couldn't make Y's men the nite I was there but something was always happening. Anyway
