Hello to everyone.
T. Sgt. John W. Fink, Pacific
Feb. g.: ?
1 have been receiving the Outlook
for nearly three years and l would
like you to know there is never a
week that l don't look forward to
its coming. | especially enjoy the
news about the men in the service,
for always there is someone in the
column | know.
| observe that the army boys can
give their locations, so naturally /
look for someone near me. So far
l haven't been very lucky.
I am unable to tell where my
station is, but can say it is in an
ideal climate, also that I am on a
very beautiful island and that there
are mountains-but nothing like
those at home. To me they are
hills.
My main reason for writing is
to tell you how much l appreciate
the Laurel Outlook, and would like
to thank all who make it possible
for us to receive the paper.
