P.S. Letters by Air Mail would be the best way for correspondence.)Sept 11, 1942 Dear Miss Thompson, This is Pvt. Geo. J. Bizlewics reporting in good health, a little wealth and of sound mind and character. That should take in everything, although I might add that IUm still in a happy frame of mind in spite of all IUve been through these last three months. I have just received your post card and canUt help but admire that admirable picture of Newark State Teachers College. Gosh it brought back a lot of pleasant memories of my four happy (happiest) years I can ever hope to have. You canUt imagine how it pepped me up and brought me out of the gloom. Let me give you a little summary of what has taken place. I was shipped out of Miami Beach July 4, and trained through the month of July to arrive at our destination on August 8. We are situated somewhere in the tropics. Where? IUm not allowed to disclose, but at an air base and still attached to the Army Air Corps. We are in a censor zone and facts of military importance are cut out. Mail coming in from the states is not subject to censorship. We are comfortably situated, living in cement barracks, tile showers, spacious sleeping rooms, a real reading room, a post library, a service club, swimming pool and just loads of activities to keep a soldier busy if he gets any time off. IUm really enjoy it very much. This healthy life, bright sun and the best of food is keeping me as fit as a fiddle. My only trouble is worrying about my hair. I haveUnt found anything that will keep it from falling out. Right now IUm beginning to look like my brother Frank P gosh - can you imagine what IUll be like when this war is over? I received a letter from Vinnie Sarnowski (after many months) and he tells me heUs attending Officer Candidate School at Aberdeen Maryland. I knew he would get somewhere with all that ability he possesses - he just couldUnt miss. Brother Eddie is attending Airplane Mechanics school at Long Island City and doing a good job too. He likes it very much and still pals out with the tall Joe OUSullivan, who is attending Airplane Mechanics school at Casy James. Our Newark State boys seem to be giving a good account of themselves. But then we had the best students in the State of New Jersey didUnt we - Have you heard through channels that A asta and I are through for good ? If I didUnt tell you , you would probably find out anyway so I wonUt hold out on you: Might I add that I should have listened to your sound advice when you were preaching to me about her? Remember to give me a good calling down the next time I see you. Looking forward to the news from Newark teachers college and Miss Thompson P SincerelyG. Bizlewics
