Pvt. TED T. CYZYCKI went into the army last July and is now in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, attending a radio school. He said he likes the army but not the climate there. “There was frost September 15 and snow September 20.” It was the first snow Ted ever saw.

TEDDY CYZYCKI who has been at a camp in South Dakota for a number of months, has been transferred to Boca Raton, Florida. Teddy said he certainly is glad to get back to Florida.

Well, Christmas has come and "went," and now 1945 is just around the corner for all of us. Let us hope all of us will be able to celebrate Christmas of 1945 together once again.

The editor of this column feels today about like "Father Time" looks, acknowledges with appreciation greeting cards from more of you fellows scattered around the world.

Cards also from the three Cyzycki brothers, all in the army, but not in the same place. T/Sgt. Steve in Alabama, A/C Victor in Texas, and S/Sgt. TEDDY in England.

One person that had a happy 4th of July was S/Sgt. TEDDY CYZYCKI of Korona who arrived home that afternoon after being in the ETO for two years with the Eighth Air Force. Teddy stopped by to see us today and gave us an English six-pence.

Teddy has enough points to get a discharge but is rated in the "critical M. O. S." (army priority system) class, and it is doubtful whether it will be forthcoming in the near future.

He has a 30-day furlough after which he will report back to Camp Blanding for further assignment.

September 27, 1945

S/Sgt. TED CYZYCKI, who was in the army over three years and 27 months in England in radar, has been discharged and is now here visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Cyzycki at Korona. Ted was accompanied here by his wife who formerly was a Naval Lieutenant (j.g.) and stationed in Washington.
