Unit Rep. Report
Hello Folks.
We are on the last- report be-
fore reunion tiroe. We hope that
all you guys and gals have made
plans for the big one in Detroit.
From the news we have received
tlie committee have gone all out
to make this the best ever. So if
you haven't started now is the
time.
The Secretary did not reveal
the membership standing this
month so we will have to sweat
it out until we get to Detroit.
(That* Hendricks is a trickster).
We received a very nice letter
from John and Ann. Ribar who
have had their share of troubles
this past winter. We are sorry .to
hear that you folks were ill but
are* over-joyed that everything
is O.K. Dot and I are looking
forward to being with all of the
gang again.
Our former President Bill John-
son and his lovely Zita sent us a
very nice letter. It sure was good
to hear from such fine folks. Bill
as usual sent along some fine
comments on the work of the
Unit reps and the general attitude
of the people in our great associ-
ation. We thank you Bill for your
encouragement and we knovi all
the members of the 12th AD join
me in thanking you for the work
that you have done and sincerely
hope will continue to do for our
great outfit.

Talk about surprises. Well we
had the greatest last week. It
seems we usually travel in the
neighborhood of five hundred
miles or more to conventions.
When we arrive we find Bert
Romano and his charming Mrs.
of course these are The 12th AD
reunions. Well ' last week while
attending this 50th Anniversary of
Lions Club in Atlantic City, N. J.
It was our State Convention also.
Up Popps the Kid himself old Bert
and his Charmer. Well needless
to say we had a I 2th AD reunion
right there. The irony of all this
is that Bert only lives about thirty
five miles from our adode. "See
you in< Detroit Bert."
Us thne to pick up the marbles
and leave. So until we all meet in
Detroit Keep Happy it dosen't
cost a cent.
Love you all,

coming to life on the pages of the

had better send in some news
after a long dry silence.
I manage a store in Warsaw,

WW 2 is a private (bucking for
P.F.C.) in the 1st Armored Div.
He plays trombone with the Div-
ision Band. My daughter Cindy

Frank Evans came into the store
and had to introduce himself as I
hadn't seen him since 1945. We
enjoyed talking about the old days
so much, now I know I'll have to
get to the reunion.
