FROM CAMPS AT HOME

At New Location

January 10, 1946

" Dear Howard:

I should hang my head in shame!

This is twice now that I got home

and then back again without drop-

ping in up there. I don't knowwhere the time gets to when you

are on a furlough or pass. It goes

twice as fast as it should, that’s

for sure.

When I got back to Finney

General Hospital after my first visit

home, there were a lot of changesin store for me. They came one

right after another.I got back to find myself out of

one job and in another. . I had been

working in the Separation Center,but while I was home (in Novem-

ber) the Separation Center closed.

I had enjoyed working there,

even though it hadn't been for

long. Those fellows sure were

happy to get those ‘Lame Ducks”

on their clothes. We were taking

the surplus from Ft. Benning andCamp Shelby, Mississippi. Along

with our own Detachment men and

patients.

My new job, I found myself in,

was in ‘Professional Services” loca-

ted in ward A-1. It was the main

part of the hospital. It was com-

posed of “Medical Services” and

“Surgical Service”. I worked under

the latter. I worked for ColonelOtto, who reminded me very much

of (Wallace Beery in appearance.

Everything had to go over his desk

and I helped to put it there. Ttwas while working here that I re-

ceived my promotion.

The Hospital closed as of thefifteenth of December. The last

patient was shipped out and left

the 14th and I left the day after. . .

but to come home.

Qur group came out on orders

the 12th of December, so that very

night we wired our next stop re-

questing delays enroute. Our new

C.0’s would have been considered

pretty cruel had they been refused,

but mot one was, so home I went

and enjoyed one of the nicest

Christmases I ever spent.

I said to my mother on IChrist-

mas day we certainly had much to

be thankful for. Having had five

in service, with the exception of

my brother-in-law, Charley who at

that time was on a pass in Switzer-

land, everyone of us was home for

Christmas, if not at our house athis own homes, as was the case

with Phil and Richard.

I arrived here at Moore General

Hospital on the 30th. The hospital

is on the side of a mountain, sur-

rounded by the most beautiful

mountains I've ever seen, and liv-

ing in Pennsylvania, that’s going

some. You don’t look and just see

one mountain—there is hump after

hump. Mt. Mitchell is here and

it is said to be the largest this

side of Pike's Peak.‘Sometimes you can’t even see

the tops as the clouds hide them.

They are really beautiful.The hospital itself is built and

planned very similar to Finney, so

I feel more or less at home when

I am in it.

I am working in the Military Per-

scnnel Officers handling TravelVouchers, Soldier Deposits, etc.,

and it is very interesting."I went out for ‘the basketball

team and the first practice stif-

fened me up good. Our first game

was ‘to have been played Tuesday

against a high school team up. the

mountain aways, but it was called

off, I imagine because of muddy

roads. It rained for the past three

days,and these mountain roads . . .

Well, Howard; this is longer than

I had intended. I was merely writ-

ing to give you my new address.Here it is and then I'll stop.

FROM FIELDS AFAR

Wants Some Snow

Dear Mr. Risley:

In the past week I have received

approximately fifty-five newspapers.As it turned out ten were Dallas

Posts. Who, may I ask, could wish

for more? [I derived a great deal

of pleasure reading a letter written

to you by Harry Keller, Ted Schw-artz and John Fink. "It proved in-

teresting to read how some of the

fellows are making out. Since Ileft the ‘States I haven't met any-

one from back home. Undoubtedlythere are some on the Roack but

as yet we haven't met.

Again I have changed addresses

this time to an outfit that services

B-29’s. They are now getting planes

ready for state side. All sixty

pointers are flying home. The last

of the seventy pointers left today.

The practical jokers are at work

tonight. They are giving our Chief

a real hard time. They have him

boiling now. It’s all clean fun,

a

though. The antics make the timego a bit faster and life a little more

bearable. We have a big (6 ft.5 inch) blond-headed boy from

Minnesota and he insists on pullingthe mustache of our five foot fourChief. They run around here mak-ing all sorts of racket.

The weather here is swell. As

you know the island has the samelatitude as that of California. The

days are mice and warm and thenights were made for sleeping.

Have you had much snow yet?

It was in April, 1944 that I saw

my last snow and to tell the truthI'm a little homesick for it. How

about sending a bucket of it outhere for the four Pennsylvania boys

in this hut? :

With little or nothingelse to awrite about, I wish to take this

opportunity to thank you andyour

staff for the fine newspaper yousend to the service personnel.
