ROBERT ALLEN IN NEVADA.
Robert W. Allen, brother of Mrs. Lester Trautman of this city, writes:
Dear Bill—Just a short note to acquaint you with my change of address. I graduated from the radio school at Sioux Falls, So. Dak., January 25 and came to Las Vegas Army Gunnery School, Las Vegas, Nevada, February 1.
This is a swell place—a lot warmer than at Sioux Falls. I saw Bob Hope’s show when he broadcast from here on last Tuesday night. It was very good.
I want to thank you again for the HERALD—I sure miss it when I don’t get it on time. I want to also thank everyone who is helping make it possible for all the boys to get it. We sure like to see what is happening around home. Sincerely, Bob.
