 Wrangell, Alaska
 Dear Carl:
 ledgement of the wonderful card that you, John Grover, Winston Davies and the membership of the Stikine Gillnetters Association sent me in March. Needless ito say that I was deeply moved by this remem- brance. I was also ill very poor shape physically to do more than attempt to move around, but since then have progressed quite nicely. I can get around reasonably well except for my eyes, which are quite far gone although I have some hope of surgery restoring par tial vision to one. Learning to walk for the third time in ones life is quite an undertaking. think the first time wns easiest. Have suffered two comparatively light strokes. Taking it all in all we haven't done so bad.
 We are now living in Capistrano Palisades I think this unquestion- ably is the incest part of Californ- ia and in months toGny is the first drop of rain, and somewhat dark day, that we have seen.
 Would be interested in all the news, ie., what kind of run, who bid on the fish, who bought them, and what was paid. Get very little news about local conditions there ns until now the doctors had for bidden me to have much contact with Business. Things down here in industry are on hectic side and ~ouid seem that some day the bub- bic would have to burst California is a eat state but everyone living here knows it. They don't hide their light under a bushel when you talk to them. We get lonesome for the old bunch at Wrangell, but am afraid that we are doomed to the mild climate of the south.
 So Carl, we ask you to accept this delayed acknowledgment m the spirit in which it is sent with sincere greetings to one and all of you and hoping that if any of you get down this wey you will not pass us by The street address is 34S01 Canine Capistrano.
 Sincerely yours,

I'm THE AIR FORCE"
BY Elaine Townsend Dicksrson

Flier'--he apparently thought he
had seen everything.
When Helen questioned her dad
about why her plane stalled on cer-
tain aerobatic maneuvers, Mr..
Johnson thought the best way for
Helen to find out the intricacies OF ,
her plane would be in the repair
shop OF Pan American. Eight hours
day for nine straight months Hell
en- could be found in the shop play
iEg her role of grease monkey. Of
ten, Mrs. Johnson would call her
only child from the shop to visit
with old friends over a cup of tea
and ii would be just routine to hear
her mother apologize for her young
daughters grease stained hands.
Helen received her first job when
she was elected governor of the
Texas chapter of National Aeronau-
tics Association. and surveyed 367
airports and flying fields. Next she
was flight instructor at the Los
Angeles Municipal Airport and in
structed such students as Buddy
Rogers. Robert Taylor. Lana Tur-
/ htAf oiiAtff ott III anu Nidf AS
tor.
After Pearl Harbor, Helen In
structed naval and army air corp
pilots in Prescott, Arizona, under
civil service. Still as a civil service
teacher she trained WASP cadets
in 1943 in Houston, Texas. Ferrying
war weary planes from Texas to
California, activating 80 CAP
squadrons in Texas for air rescue
planes in the air at time), being
assistant air port manager In Fort
Worth, commanding the first WAP
squadron at Norton AFB in Cali
fornia, are just a few of Helen's
aviation memories.
The Cottons met when they were
both stationed In USAFE Head
quarters in Germany and were mar
ried when they were later assigned
to Paris, France.
Right now Helen Cotton is busy
with her role of parliamentarian
of the Officers Wives Club, but soon
she hopes to instruct i'm the SAC
Aero Club. She's hoping TO have a
class of womeni Hayes is all for
my becoming one of her first pu-
pills, but ! can see me Gittling with

Next year Helen plans to be an
entrant in the Powder Puff Derby
and our land lady in Sacramento
will also be in the race. so we shall
really have reason TO keep an aye

after successfully completing such
additional years of teaching should
perhaps be awarded an M. A. de-
