Express Appreciation
We, the officers and men of
Co. E, 1st Battle Group, 23rd In
fantry, wish to convey our sincere
thinks and heartfelt appreciation
for the cordial and warm hos
pitality bestowed upon us during
our recent visit to your wonder
ful city.
Your keen interest, enthusiasm
and attitude assisted us immense
ly during the conduct of our por
tion of Exercise “Great Bear”.
The success of such a training
mission is highly dependent upon
the qualities of friendship and co
operation so admirably displayed
by you the citizens.
It was readily apparent to all
of us that we were not treated as
outsiders but rather were were
treated like actual members of
the community itself.
The genuine friendship and
civic spirit you displayed will not
toe quickly forgotten by any of us.
Sincerely,
Capt. John Heller

to do anything any more but not
Mr. Augustus Mertz of Rochester,

the Spiritual Life Mission as a
lay leader. He retired four years

taken him twice to Alaska, the
Malayas and the Philippines and
twice to Korea.
His experiences at the Metho
dist school at Seoul, Korea, where
there are 8,500 girls, and the need
of the people who live there as
well as the thousands of refugees
are among the things he is talk
ing about tonight and tomorrow
evening at the Methodist Church.
He stated that last year during
his stay in Seoul, 1,200 students
and teachers of Ewha University
were baptized.
