We are glad to welcome
back all those unfortunate
people who had "the flu”.
Sorry to report that at this
writing Harry Kilman is back
in the hospital. We wish you
a speedy recovery, Harry.
We extend a hearty wel
come to Freddie Norris who is working with the
office staff. Freddie hails from Asheville, but is
in the process of moving to Brevard right now.
Hope you will enjoy working with us.
We were sorry to lose Jim Harrison, who found
it necessary to leave because of illness; but wel
come Troy Zachary who is taking Jim s place.
Gus Grose has been to Key West and Miami on
a Navy Cruise. All he had to say was that he got
sea-sick. If his "dahling ’ could have gone with
him, the cruise would probably have been more
enjoyable. By the way, Gus new rank in the Navy
is hospitalman, 3rd Class—Congratulations!
Congratulations are also in order for Lt. Com
mander Charles Glazener who has been selected
to be the new commanding officer of the Naval
Reserve Surface Division 617 in Asheville. He
will hold this office for three years.
We were all very sorry to hear of the very un
fortunate accident involving Pete Muffat and a
truck. Glad to report that Pete is at home now
and getting along O.K. He wrote us a letter with
portions of it addressed to certain individuals.
Since we enjoyed it so much over here, I think
others would also enjoy reading excerpts of it.
This young fellow is Clinton D. Owen, the eight-
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ford Owen of Lake
Toxaway. Ford is in the Electro-Chemical Dept.
I quote as follows: "Dear Jim (Brennan)—I am
back home again, but still in a wheelchair since
my ribs have not healed enough for me to walk
on crutches much. I try it from time to time but
it does not feel so good. I thought I had an ex
cellent idea but Carol vetoed it; my idea was that
I would spend the next few weeks in bed to let
the ribs heal; I was going to invite you over for
that time, we could both pass the time talking
about when we were young. For the first time
have I become acquainted with the radio pro
grams, both day and nite; I listen to everything
from Arthur Godfrey to Fibber and Molly, soap
opera excepted.” In Pete’s note to Dorothy John
son, he told about the wonderful features of St.
Joseph’s. Pete wrote, "Only in one way does St.
Joseph’s resemble other hospitals—penicillin is
administered through a Va inch waterpipe, driven
home with a wooden mallet.” To Lloyd Harris, he
wrote the following, "Would you like to buy a
nice 1951 Ford?”
We all miss you Pete, and hope that you’ll be
back with us soon.
Dan Wallen and Ed Hill have bought television
sets for their families. Main reason was probably
the "Wednesday-nite-fights.”
The next production of the Brevard Little
Theater will be "Laura” which is to be staged on
February 27 and 28. Our "researchers” — namely,
Gunther Baldauf, who is chairman of the stage
committee, Charlie Norlander, the Publicity
chairman, Thelma Glazener, the program chair
man, and Gus Grose, chairman of the casting
committee, have really been working hard on it
and also the following production which is en
titled "Little Scandal”. Hope everyone will make
