Naval Air Station Pensacola Tuesday Noon: 1300 (Navy Time) Dear Dave, You probably won't remember me but I know you have seen me around a few times. I knew you very well although you probably never realized it, because I never had an opportunity to talk to you. Anyhow, I am A/c Wms Maas, better known around town as "Bill". I received the last two copies of your paper "Scuttlebutt" and really enjoyed them. My address then was Corpus Christi, Texas, but---if you've had much connection with the navy you'll know how long your are in one place. I have moved exactly 6 times in 6 weeks now. That being, either from one base to another, or from one barracks to another on a particular base. I've been on four different bases in that time. Anyhow, at present I am residing at the address found on the outside of the envelope. I would like very much if you would send me the next issue of "Scuttlebutt" after Nov. 25 if possible, because I missed that one I think. I certainly enjoy reading about the boys in different parts of service & all over the globe, both land & sea. Also the main attractions around the old hometown. The name of the field which we are flying from now over
