It'll be out sometime this fall if Willy isn't drafted (he's 36 1/2 and has bad eyes). --Keith Buchanan BARRACK BUNK [in bubble letters] CORN CRACK BY PFC ACK-ACK Cpl Alex Legrand was having a grand time ragging it out on the Grand Piano in the Permanent Parties' Playroom 'till Pvts Art Michel, Chuck Pitts, Jack Erman, and other would-be warblers ganged up on him with requests for singable stuff. Legrand, outnumbered, bowed to superior forces. Smart Alex! Or, Alexander's ragtime banned. Pfc Lyle MacDonald is a sucker for fortune-telling, particularly palmistry. He's gonna live to be as old as Mehtuselah's children, (cyd next column) All you service fans might not get copies of the Bulletin unless you keep us notified as to change of address. Several forcefans have reported that their copies have not been arriving. So - you might not get your copies unless we are promptly notified. --jlg BARRACK BUNK (continued) according to the latest scientific (?) measurements of his lifeline. If this goes on, after a while Lyle will be passing into his THIRD childhood. Don't let 'em palm anything off on you, Mac. Pvt Russ Willmorth must've had a big hangover the other morning. At least, we judge his nite before he was naughty, Russ managed to get himself to bed all right - it's just that, when he woke up in the morning, he still was wearing his hat! Cap that if you can! --Reprinted from the Fort MacArthur Bulletin. Haven't you fan writers been doing much lately? Articles are sorely needed for Parsec. Write to Frank Robinson, 6636 S Sacramento - Chicago, Illinois. Parsec will definitely be a good item, fans, so why not pitch in? You might also think about the 3rd issue of Tycho. We've got an abundance of fiction, but another long article would be most welcome - length of 2 or 3 pages. My address is on the last page for that of Tycho (221 Melbourne, etc). Imagi-Music being held up by the lithographer, but will appear. --jlg
