To the Editor: Thanks a million for a copy of The Frontier. You covered the helicopter crash very thoroughly and as a former editor I want to compliment you on your cover age. Our son’s death was a terrific shock to us and The Frontier seemed to somewhat alleviate our minds. He wanted so much to serve 20 years in the air force then enter government service. Bob was the second of our old est sons to die for his country. His brother having served with the 11th airborne paratroops, and taken everything MacArthur had thrown at him from New Guinea, Leyte, Manilla, Okinawa and Ja pan, came home to die of a dis ease incurred in New Guinea. Six of our children have seen active service and the seventh was a secretary for the British counsel in New York during the war. And I am totally disabled from W.W.I. So our family has served; I am enclosing two aonars ior I which I do wish you would send i us a picture of our son and Cap j tain Johnson and the children and any other pictures you may have of the wreck. We will prize them so highly, along with an other copy of the August 6th is sue of The Frontier. You had a splendid editorial. Bob was an instructor in a Boy Scout troop in South Boston and loved kiddies. Some weeks age he was written up in an air force paper, two columns, for his work among Scouts and boys. Again, we can’t thank yoe enough for the copy of The Fron tier. It just filled a great vacancy Bob would not have come tc O’Neill if Doctor Loeser, his per sonal friend, had not called hixr long distance and requested hirr to come West for the maneuvers And they died together. Your broken-hearted friend, WILLIAM A. IDE Preopening Day to Be August 2£ Preopening day for Holt coun ty rural school teachers will b< held Friday, August 28, at tlv O’Neill public school.
