How a re things back at D ayton, Jim ? Is Harry going to have a football team this fa 11? Do you ever hear from Da nny Gill or any of the other fellows from Philly? Joe Cabrinha told me tha t Eddie Longo i somepl ace on this island . H e was in to see J oe a nd is now a major. Chuck K a ntzler is now a major a nd the last I heard from h im he was someplace in the Pacifi c. Do you hear from M ajor Lou T schudi ? I read where Dan Adams was wounded .in action .
