Mrs. Marie S. Welter, Director Servicemen’s Center 711 Whitehead Street Key West, Florida Dear Mrs. Welters: We are now only an hour’s ride from Norfolk and ‘the little town where I’m stationed does not look half as good to me as another lit- tle town—your fair city—Key West. I can’t ever forget you and your work. In you and the group who help to make up the USO I found a home away from home. there were an unsung hero, it is you. The time and effort you spend in making others happy can never be measured in dollar value. It would be foolish of me to tell you to carry on because knowing you as I remember you, I know that you will. It seems quit uninteresting not having a center to go to on “liber- ty.” Johnson and I hope that you and the girls enjoyed having us around half as much as we enjoyed being there. I told mother that she has com- petition for her role for I was thinking of adopting you (smiles). I had better stop that for you will start thinking that you have grown old and that will never happen to you. It is only fitting that I bring others in the picture by now. Tell Wallace hello. He is really a great guy. To the girls and guys like Rose, Dorthea, Judy, Georg- ina, Carol, Oreathea, Willie C. and Roderick, I wish the best of every- thing. Tell Orie, Ursula and Hunt- er hello for me. When my ship left Key West after having been stationed there for three months, I knew that 1 had collected more pleasant ex- Periences than most people collect in a life time. I can’t think of any way, but if I did make mistakes or did any- thing that was not becoming while If ever | gram, “Strick it Rich,” Friday,|1 Was in Key West, I’m indeed July 30, 11:30-12:00 a.m. E.

Be-'# cause of the favorable comment, I shall proceed to bring to the attention of the “sport fans” of Key West some of the pitchers who fell off the mound.
