April 24, 1946
To the Belles of ’38:
1 feel a little like a college student
again now, as I am back at Fort Benning
taking a two-month refresher course. It’s
mighty fine, except the cramming we used
to do before our exams doesn’t work out
as well now. The course is fine, and so is
the vocation. Lt. James D. Carter is in
my class and has just recently returned
from the Pacific after having been there
for two years or so. Jimmie will report
back to Camp Hood, Texas, May 11, when
we finish up here.
Last Saturday night we enjoyed a swell
Muster with some 75 Aggies and their
wives and dates attending. Major Pat Eas-
ley, ’39, stationed here at the school, was
in charge and presented us a fine pro-
gram. Surprisingly to me, the majority of
the A. M. men present were Officer
Candidates from the classes of ’45, ’46,
and ’47. However, there were several old
men around, but no others from our
class. We had a regular yell practice
along with the prescribed program and
also a cold plate lunch along with that
famous beverage—beer.
I understand that Major Arnold Spitzer
is stationed here and I know that he was
for a long time, but have not run into
him. Did run into Capt. Gustavo J. Pena,
whe is being converted from Coast Ar-
tillery into the Infantry. He is still here,
but is in a different class, and I don’t
see him very much. There are several class-
es of officers down here converting offi-
cers from various branches into the In-
fantry.
Lt. C. Calvin Parker dropped me a line
a month or so ago and at that time was
in England. Calvin was in Europe once
and was returned to Ashburn General Hos-
pital, McKinney, Texas; then again went
back over. He is to be returned to limited
duty soon and is with the S. O. S., 3rd
Army. Calvin was from Houston and in the
Band ’34-38.
Had a real interesting letter from H.
B. McElroy who, if you will remember,
used to publicize the college and its
sports. Mac finally got in the Seabees
after the Army refused him and went from
Pearl Harbor to Tarawa where he had
a pretty tough time. He was medically dis-
charged in December, and his present ad-
dress is Box 5736, College Station, Texas.
He says he is a P.F.C. now, and that
doesn’t mean the Army term either.
Ed Coulson wrote next and is engaged
in the practice of law with Vinson, Elkins,
Weems & Francis in Houston, Texas. Ed
has a medical discharge from the Officer
Reserve Corps. However, he writes that
Bennett, his brother, was commissioned
in the Navy in 1942 and has spent a year
and a half in the Southwest Pacific. Ben-
nett is a member of ’38 class, although he
got his B. S. in ’839 and Masters in ’40.
Ed’s address is 2244 North Boulevard,
Houston 6, Texas. Lt. Bennett Coulson can
be reached ¢% Fleet Post Office, San Fran-
cisco, Calif.
Ole Herb Peavy is a Lieut. Col. now and
his address is APO 885, NYC. Pete wrote
me a long letter and it was the first I'd
heard of him since 1941. He’s gone a long
way, and even so far as to have a wife and
6 months old baby girl. He writes that
Major Elmer Poutra is back in the States
after three years in the South Pacific. In
answer to your question, Pete, I got a
letter from George today, and he is just
fine. His address is Major George R.
Burch, APO 523, NYC.
Capt. Frank Altick, MC, APO 133, NYC,
is a flight surgeon with a troop carrier
group somewhere in France. Frank, I am
asking Mr. Mac to supply you with W. E.
“BILL’ Stiles’ present address, also John
Ashford’s. Thanks for the fine letter.
The last letter I have received from one
of our bunch this time was from Lt.
Roger A. Pendery, APO 640, NYC. Roger
is doing some interesting work in crimi-
nal investigation, but says he doesn’t
run into many Aggies along that line,
which I guess is pretty good. Roger has
been in the British Isles for two and a
half years and now commands his de-
tachment.
That’s all for now, but hope to get
some more news for you for next time.
We've got just one more month before
the fiscal year, so don’t forget the Dev-
elopment Fund and the Ex-Students’ Asso-
ciation.
Best regards to all of you, and just give
‘em hell.

CAPT. WILLIAM H. ATKINSON of
Omaha, Texas, was recently presented to
Bronze Star Medal for heroic achievement
in action as a member of the 362nd Inf.

severely injured by an artillery shell burst
during the action which lead to his
award. Prior to entering into the armed

Service at Albuquerque, New Mexico. He
has been overseas for ten months, seeing
extensive duty in the Italian campaign. The

capture a German gun to send home to his
wife ,and when the gun became available,
he accidentally discharged it and the bullet
went through his right food, severing the
