Hello, Dribblesl
Here 1 am again, and not so late
this time, am I?
Yesterday 1 received the June is
sue of the "Home Town Gazette"
and was very much interested in
Vic Ennis letter to you. Like
yourself, 1 thought it left no stone
unturned-just the way We'll leave
no stone unturned in this war for
victory over the self-styled super
men" of the world? Here's wish
ing Vic all the luck in the wishing
bag and hoping that he'll come out
with his wings as an ace bomber
pilot, to help the rest of the Boys
blast ((what's an appropriate
wond?) out of the Rome-Berlin-
Tokyo crumbling triangle.
And here's an SOS to those row.
ing wolves Leon Pierce, Johnnie
Melvin, Ray Smith, Dickie Hop
Ains, Pete Stats, Jack Francis,
James Blackjack" Goodng, ETC.
Fellows I don't have any of your
addresses, so if you'll dash me a
line, giving me your addresses and
all the news from your end of the
T ~ y
ately, At one time, had all your
addresses but they either changed,
or lost them, now. See what you
all can do for another CT, huh?
Well really have treat here on
the post two days from now when
Bob Hope and Frances Langford
bring their U.S.O. shows out here
in one of our hangers. Hope is a
great favorite of the fellows in the
3O6th Group. Well never forget
the time when he and Bing Crosby
(he's a singer I think finished UP
AN afternoon golf match in Salt
Lake City last July and, dead
tired, took long train ride across
the salt flats to Wendover Field to
put on swell show for us that
night.
This wasn't intended to be long
letter so I'll cut off, now. Keep
the home fires burningl
Just one of the boys,

Bobby, it's been nice hearing
from you, and here's hoping that
the Boys that you've mentioned in
your letter, will shortly get in
touch with you BY the way, when
speaking of wolves you might like
ITO know that many of the young
foxes are fast becoming wolves
back in your Home Town" area.
Perhaps the man shortage, the
AIS excepted, has made all this
possible. Then again, it may be
that youth is just a bit ambitious.
Well! You just can't keep youth
and ambition separate in the aver
age American boy. That's the rea-
son why Our Boys make such good
soldiers on the battle fields of the
world. God bless them one and
all, for the courageous manner in
which they are facing their prob
iems in all theatres of this war.
No doubt the phrase of There Will
Always Be An England was we'll
deserved by our Allies over your
way, but it is just as true, that as
dong as we have Our American
Boys There Will Always Be An
America. Nor can we overlook the
outstanding part which Our Girls
are playing in helping to win this
widespread conflict. They too de-
serve a Big Hand, in a Big Way,
from Nation of Big Hearted and
grateful people. SO, here's to our
Ladies, God bless them. Drink
hearty all you fellows! To your
sweethearts, your wives, to the
Mothers of the present and future
America
Bobby, we trust that you'll con-
tinue to write in at regular inter-
walls during your stay abroad. And
may good fortune smile upon you
and the boys of the 306th Group.
Keep right on pitching them across
the plate and you'll sure strike out
