It was incredible that we found these very items (complete with signatures) that Leonard spoke of in this letter dated 5/23/43. Tucked away for safe keeping until the "ruckus" (WWII) was all over with. "Our books came out today with all the fellows pictures in it. As soon as I get a few of the fellows to sign it I will send it to you. There is quite a few shots in it that give you an idea what this place looks like. I also have a picture of my instructor and the other boys that flew with me (that) I am sending home for you to keep for me. I don't want to keep it with me because it might get ruined and stuff like that will look pretty good to me after this damn ruckus is over with." "C" Flight Garner Field 1943 Top L to R -A/C John L.
