EVERYBODY WAS NOBLE AND I HAD FUN!
I am sitting here trying to remember how it all started! I havenft the faintest recollection of discussing the project with anyone. All I can recall is Dr. Shaffer giving me an equivocal send-off, cautioning me not to be too disappointed if none of the boys answered us: that the idea was a good one, anyway. Later on, he told me that it had turned out surprisingly well and that there was nothing at all like it. I never had any doubts about it that I can remember. It was a chance to talk to the boys as we used to in the library and I welcomed it.
The re-reading of my copies of the Service Menfs News gave me this one reaction?those of us who knew the men well all feel it?the varied responses of these men to their experience all had one thing in common?love for their country, and pride in it.
I wish we could know what has happened to them all since. It would be more interesting than any book I have read on this subject.
My final thought as I go through my gNewsh copies is of the very fine cooperation of the faculty and the graduates in giving me copy, and one thought stands out, gEverybody was noble and I had fun!h
