stated that many of the old time

COMMITTEE.
The following excerpts are quoted
from a letter written by Joe Lucci,
in Seattle on March 13th. He said
I an residing at the home of Mr
and Mrs John McGivney. I’m work
ing for the Sears, Roebuck Com
pany, I perform the functions of a
checker in the clothec department.
I have been attending a class of Auto
and Aeroplane Mechanicians, at
the Seattle school of engineering, in
the evenings after I’m through with
my work. I will finish the course!
in time to corns up in the spring, j
which I think I’ll do.
When I finish the course, I ex
pect to get a first class repairman's
license and diploma that qualifies me
for any position in the government
service or factory as an auto as
sembler, repairer, demonstrator, or
aeoplane engine mechanic. I have
been attending school continuously
since December first. It seems as
though a young fellow can learn
more along these lines by six months
studying out here, than he could
learn in Nome during his whole life
time.
The only time I have an oppor
tunity to get a little fun is on
Saturday afternoon or on Sunday.
The night school takes two hours
and a half of my time every night,
i (except Saturday and Sunday.)
I met A. D. Poteet, his wife and
children a short time ago, since
then, they have left here and went
East.
Last Sunday, Archie McDonald
and myself had the pleasure of
enjoying a delicious dinner at the
home of Mr and Mrs Densmore,
they afterwards took us for a ride
all over Seattle in their fine auto.
We also went nearly as far as
, Tacoma during the joy ride.
There is plenty of work out here
for those who want to work, and
wages are good. The weather here
is excellent just now. I’m also
sending a few lines to my Parents,
in the same mail which carries
these few lines to you. Give my
best regards to my former school
master, and the rest of my friends.
From your sincere friend,
J. L.
