Following their triulmphs in Hole

1ywood ana points west, members OF
Fort Huachuca's Special Service en-
tertainment troupe reported that
Leon Renee tsongwriter of When the
Swallows Come Back to CapiStrano'
and II Lost My Sugar in Salt Lake
City" fame) was one of their most
ardent supporters and followed them
all around Hollywood and LA. on
practically all of their appearances.
They also bring back this tale about
the versatile Leon:
1t seems that Renee was invited
by a grateful Chamber of Commerce
down to the city that his song had
made famous, and during the course
of a SumptuouS banquet in his honor
was called upon to tell the assembled
Capistranans how he came to be
so well-informed about their little
hamlet. Well-it seems that mo-
ment became Renee'S most embar-
RAISING moment. He had never been
there before had never heard of it,
in fact, until he read brief piece
in one of the newspapers telling of
the annual return Of swallows to the
historic little mission town. That
brief newspaper item had been his
sole inspiration for the song that be-
came nationwide hit and put
Capistrano on the map.

Thinking out loud: The interest
of civilian residents of Apache Flats
and Hanna Hall in the Apache Sen
t1nel and their cooperation with the
PX's Mrs. Clara Sullivan in furnish
ing us with news notes is gratifying.
-. 1t was good to see and talk
with an old friend and former Uni
verSity of Minnesota classmate, End
1t. Norman Light, member of
that Tiger outfit" It was also
good to see Mr.. Vincent Robinson,

This weeks nominee for the title
of MAN about Post" is the 365th

a source of unending wonder to his

January-but she can handle a car
Lit. James T. Chambers, whom she
drove to Tucson to pick up the Joe
Louis party, can attest that fact.

Headquarters, 371st Infantry. e.
We know now why so many persons
on the Post live and swear by the
Post Commander. AS the boys
around the Band Barracks would
say, Hes an all right guy-all right,

six months less than Joe and is a
first sergeant while the Brown
