Also Dan Dechman at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Md., AMM2/C Joe Tanner at Kingsville, Texas; Russell Thompson, coast guardsman, at West Palm Beach; Sgt. and Mrs. Andrew Thompson in California; Seabee Herbert Anderson (also down in the Southwest Pacific); VICTOR CYZYCKI who is an air student at Amherst, Mass. Also one from a guy we haven't heard from in a long time - Dell Bradberry, in the army and at Vallejo. Thanks a million, fellows!

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.

And a letter from A/C VICTOR CYZYCKI, now at Moore Field, Mission, Texas. Vic has been hopping around quite a bit lately, but that’s the army! He says:

“My address is seemingly stationary again, so please note the change.

Many times I have slight changes before letting you know but the last time things slipped little.

We've had a lovely Easter which I thoroughly enjoyed in Mexico. They tell me that the towns close to the border are quite different but it is still a big change. Probably see more of it before I leave.

Thanks ever so much for the Tribune."
