I found a note to Cono from
a Jasper Camarata (Hq/66):
"We had to flee Florida because
Betty's Dad was very sick.
Betty has been going there
three days a week to help him.
Her sister puts in three days
too. We have noticed a small
improvement over the last two
weeks. If he continues to im-
prove we will head back south
to our apartment in New Port
Richey, Florida and then come
right to the Eastern from there.
We hear that you have had a
nasty time of it. My God, Sid, I
have never known you to be
sick. We hope you are feeling
better."
I just noticed something else
in the statistics about you rear
echelon commandos. 41 unpaid
regular members out of 141 as
of the end of February. That's
not procrastination. That's
dilatory negligence. That Cav-
alry outfit that led this division
has a better record than that.
Let's get with the program.
Mail your dues, then write to
Cono.
Offer your prayers for Cono,
(G.G.W.)
Your Buddies
are waiting to
hear from you!

Greetings and punctuations
to all of you out there in the
hinterlands. If you can define
hinterlands as "anyplace where
one is not," then you are in the
hinterlands. I'm sure that I will
get a note from the editor giv-
ing me the page on which Funk
(close) and Wagnalls define
hinterland.
Starting this month's erudite
collection of prosaic and some-
times pompous proclamations
is propelling me into a position
that is causing me to question
my propensity in promulgating
such poppycock in this publica-
tion. Eat your heart out Bob
Head. Sorry about the pusilan-
imous suggestion. Oops, it
seems that "erudite" and
"prosaic" seem to cancel out
one another. (That's why they

before you get his name do you
promise that you will contact
him soon? Like yesterday? O.
K. The new member for H. Q.
is none other than Anthony
Genis. You ought to be proud,
Bob Gesin, that he took your
name and straightened it out
for you. Anyway, in a recent
letter Anthony wondered why
he was not aware of the exist-
ence of the association. I told
him "not to worry" because
there are several of us "Johnny
come latelys" around. In my
return letter he was told in no
uncertain terms that we all
expect him and his wife-mate
Mildred to be with us in Char-
lotte. How about you telling
him too?
Well, we have gone to the
"mountain top" with the last
paragraph but here we go down
to the depths. Today an
envelope edged in black came
from Norb Bruemmer with the
pathetic news that there are 35,
(count'em) 35 men who have
not paid their 1990 dues. I'll
not publish the names but if
you have a feeling that some
buddy needs help let Norb
know about it right now. Remem-
ber, unless there is a request
for a boost, those who were
boosted in 1989 are not eligible
this year. We do have some that
need help each year and that is
cool. If there are others, Norb
needs to know.
Old reliable, Warren Maue,
wrote about some of his exper-
iences with Dick Hartman,
H.Q., when they were running
the Herrlisheim Hilton after all
don't send mules to school. Ed.)
What I was trying to say
before the evil spirit took hold
of me was - -, I was hoping that
this, my last article for the Hell-
cat News, would be long and
full of news, but it will probably
be neither. Because of a com-
bination of things I think it
best to bow out of this partic-
ular activity. My own life style
is closing in on me and some of
the nasty letters prompt me to
take this action, but I will try
to get what news we have to
you in good style this last time.
Let's start out with a bang
and some flashing lights for a
lost buddy who has been found,
or maybe he found us. Now
