awe Qanbwlmen GANGL, W. A., FClc is from 584 East Jessamine Ave. in St. Paul and no doubt is back there by now. Bill is one of those easy going guys that is always ready to do any- one a favor. And if it could be done he is the person that can do it. Bill was with us for quite a while, but either wanted to get away or was in love, as he was married the last. time in the States, and that gave him enough points to get out. We all think that it was love. Any how he is a civilian now, and also a proud father, even though he did not know whether it was a boy or girl when he left us. tIt's a Ga1.l ANDERSON, LELAND A., FCIC, everyone calls him Lee, has his home at 1050 2nd 'St., N.E., Mason City, Iowa, where his parents live.
