Laurel outlook., 1944-09-20

This is to let you know my
change of address and my apprecia-
ton for the Outlook. I've moved
three times since my old address,
but never was in any place long
enough to give you the change.
I've missed a few copies of the
Outlook, and l mean I've really
missed them.
l wish to take this opportunity
to thank all who make it possible
for those in service to receive the
paper.
PFC. Paul w. Gjefle, France,
Sept. q:
Here goes for an overdue letter
that I've been trying to write for a
long time and never could get to.
l get the paper in big punches,
but it really is a morale builder
even though the copies are some
times two months old. l believe l
haven't missed a copy so far.
When it comes / read it over a
couple of times and especially en-
joy the Letters column. 1t helps
to keep me in contact with all the
guys l don't actually correspond
with.
While l was in England l wasn't
over 40 miles from Doug Boyd, but
II v was able to see him. We
never could get passes at the same
time.
Thanks to you and all who make
the paper possible; it really does
help a lot.
Notices of A. P. o. addresses have
been received from Alex H. Ryder,
Wesley M. Kellogg, Celester L. Go
mon and Cecil E. Nave.

teamwork, formation flying and
high altitude missions.

1t has been about a year and a
half since I wrote the Outlook to
tell them / had been receiving the
paper and that l thanked them and
the others involved.
We've had some very nice wealth
er over here, and also we've had
some very bad rains; so / don't
know for sure whether l like
France. Guess I'll wait till winter
and then make up my mind.
About a month ago l a into
Herman Sorg, and we were quite
surprised to see each other over
here. The last time we had run
into each other was last spring in
Henry Bait also is in
outfit, but as he was on
detached service l did not see him.
About two weeks ago l received
a copy of tn Outlook that described
D day. 1t was only 80 days late.
Thanks again to all for the
papers, and here's hoping the rest
Of the Laurel boys are all well.
