to my immense size I was assigned to the Sperry ball turret. Guess it is really a thrill to be suspended below the plane at high altitudes. Do you happen to know how to hold a shot gun? We have been shooting skeet about an hour a day and my shoulder has a definite purplish color. The local duck hunters could shoot ducks all season on the ammunition we fire in one day. It is really great sport and fine gunnery training. A couple of weeks ago I walked into the mess hall and whom should I see but Charlie Sutter. Charlie was one of the many air cadets who were let out when the program was cut down. First person from home I have seen for several months. Last week-end was our one and only pass to go to Mexico. The town over there is really dirty.
