MY SINCERE THANKS TO THE BRYANT COLLEGE SERVICE CLUB. “WE” REALLY APPRECIATE LETTERS AND PACKAGES FROM THE OLE HOME FRONT. THEY SORT OF MAKE THE DAY’S WORK A BIT ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . .

P. S. “PEN PALS” PLEASE NOTE. . . .(GEE, THANKS) . .

UNFORTUNATELY, NAVAL REGULATIONS PREVENTS US FROM DISCLOSING INCIDENTS OF INTEREST; HENCE, WE’LL JUST HAVE TO REFER YOU TO THE RECENT NATIONAL PUBLICATIONS. THEY SEEM TO BE DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB OF KEEPING THE PUBLIC POSTED.
