Dear Pat:
I have been wanting to get a rote off to
you ever since I received a copy of your
Class Letter dated September 1, 1944, but
it seems first one thing and another has
caused me to delay doing so. However, for
cne thing in comparison with what you
boys are doing we civilians follow such
an unexciting course there is little we can
say that might be really enjoyed by you.
I thoroughly enjoyed the description of
your hitchhiking experience in England. I
also got quite a laugh out of the names
of some of the establishments in England.
Some of these names indicate that the
English do have quite a sense of humor
after all.
I am really surprised to learn that you
waited until ycu are almost fifty to delve
into the art of dancing. Where were you
when we had all of the stag dances in the
old gymnasium during cur college days?
Of course, I realize you were a very
busy person during those days and did
rot have auite as much time to play as
some of the others.
Now, as to my family, as you may or
may not know, I have a son 19 and a
daughter 13. Tommy, the son, got through
his Freshman year at Tulane before the
Army caught up with him. He went inte
the Air Corps at 18, but on account of
his eyes was unable to make Cadet grade.
He has been at Lowry Field, Denver, the
past six months on Technical work in
connection with Turrets and Computer of
the B-29. I imagine he will he Pacific
bound ltefcre the end of the year.
I still . & rot feel too good about not
re-entering the Services, especially when
I think of what you, Bruce, Easley. ard a
dozen or more of our class are doing. I
learned in the “Junior” World War that
war is a young man’s affair. However,
the real reason for not getting into this
war was that I felt that I could do just
us zcod a job for my country in my present
position, as possibly on engineering work
on some post in the United States. We
really nad a job in making sufficient ce-
ment available while the Army and Navy
construction program was at its peak. This
rather justified my earlier decision.
I had the pleasure las: Saturday night
of seeing another Aggie football team in
sction when he's. was defeated by
A. & M. at Baton Rouge 7-0. I still get a
great kick out of witnessing A. & M. in
a football game,
I have seen very few Aggies in New
Orleans in recent months. The San Jacinto
program this year was held in my home
and counting the wives there were some
50 present. Harry Mayo, who is located in
New Orleans practicing law, was the old-
est member present and (‘Yours truly” was
the next to the oldest. This indicates that
whether we want to admit it or not, the
1916 class is getting zlong in years.
I know you cannot write each of us
individually, and I certainly do not expect
you to do so, but I will be looking forward
to your next Class Letter. I am sure it will
contain experiences that will lay in the
shade the occurrences you reported with
reference to the hLiteh-hike.
With all good wishes in connectior with
your future activities and jour safe re-
turn to this Country, I am,
Sincerely yours,
H. A. “Tom” Sawyer

Dear Skinny: :
I suppose that I have definitely let
you down on the class letter that. you
desired to have written. But who in the
HELL made you a one man electoral col-
lege? At this time, though it is rather
late, I decline the nomination and declare
the election null and void.
My knowledge of the members of the
class of ’18 is not only limited, but I
have no information concerning any of
them. Therefore, anything said concerning
the membership would be about one mem-
ber only, namely, DUDLEY S. MOORE,
better known to some folks as Wrinkle
Belly. And as my career is not Star
Studded or any blazed glory I hesitate to
bore the Editor of the Aggie with a hum-
drum recital of my doings.
If and when I get to the big town
1 shall avail myself of your invitation
for a visit. At this time I shall state my
preference of beverages. It does not take
en excessive amount at any one sitting;
bowever, if your stale line of bull lasted for
any extended period the amount would
naturally increase. A
At the present moment my intention is
to be present at the A, & M.-Texas Game,
and if you are to be there, let me know
where I can contact you.

Dear Bob:
Thanks for the letter of Sept. 1st and
the attached copy of the Texas A. & M.
Review.
I have had good intentions of writing
you a line or two ever since I received
your first ’class letter some time back.
However, like many good intentions, I
never seem to get around to it. .
I have just arrived here from my previ-
ous location and haven’t had time to in-
quire into the possibility of there being a
local A. & M. Club. If you have any news
of such please let me know.
I am still with the Soil Conservation
Service, and have been since 1934 except
for one year when I was on leave of ab-
sence doing some construction work on
Government War contracts for a ‘Dallas
contractor. My new assignment here is as
Chief, Regional Water Conservation Divi-
sion. This region covers the twelve north-
eastern states, and my duties will include
such activities as irrigation, drainage, flood
control, and other water problems. It will
be interesting work, I am sure, but this is
an awfully big city for a country boy, and
I don’t know yet how these “Damn
Yankees” will like an engineer from so
far south and west.
This is a lony way from Texas, but I
am for the ’49 reunion and will do my
best to be there. Again, let me emphasize,
if you know of any boys up this way get-
ting togther, please let me know.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
