c/o The Crosbyton Review
Crosbytcin, Texas
Dear Madam;
In a very recent issue of the
Crosbyton 'Review, I read the
story of a very dear friend o f
mine, and not to be outdone,
thought I would write a little a-
bout myself hoping to have i t
published in your paper.
I was born in Hopkins county,
Texas on February 2, 1925, and
resided there unutil I was sixteen
years of age. From there, I mov-
ed with my parents to " Crosby?
ton. Spent tjie balance of my civ-
ilian life there. The Army took
me oq .February 21, 1944., and sent
me to Ft. Sill, Oklaht5rrfErrtnrrt T<^
ception center. From Ft. Sill, 1
was sent to Camp Fannin, Texas
for m ybasic training.
In the seventeen weeks of basic
training,VI must say that I was
very much surprised at the rough-
ness oi,Jt after the first nine
weeks. Night hikes, bivouacs,
parades, and what not. I did en-
joy it though, for my wife came
and visited me for a month. That
I might add, relieved the pressure
and made the going a little easier
for me there. Of course the letters
the folks at home write help a lot
too. As a matter of f&ct, that is
why I am writing this little let-
ter nOw. I am going to enclose my
address hoping you will print i t
and have my friends who do not
already know it, write to me.
After m y basic training a t
Camp Fannin, I was granted a
ten day furlough which I natur-
ally spent at home with my wife.
After a grand - stay. ..at home, I
went to Fort George G. Meade,
Md.. lo be processed and be- sent
overseas. My stay at Fort Meade
was very short, but the surround-
ing towns, Washington D. C. and
Baltimore, Md. offered very much
in the linesof amusement to the
"G.I.'s". Upon completion of my
processing, I was sent to t h e
camp which I am now stationed
awaiting orders to be shipped over
seas. I hope, that whpn I do reach
my destination, I will be able to
do my part td win this war and
return to..my wife in Texas., and
you can rest assured, I am look-
ing forward to that day. •
My wife is the former Miss
Nettle Mae Wallace of Crosbyton
and my parents are Mrs. H. W.
Rowland and my step-father is
In an overseas staging area I n
California. Together we should
win this war.
Tours very truly,
Charley J. Skidmore
EDITORS NOTE—We cannot
print the addresses of the boys
where they are at sea, but those

more can get it at the Review Of-
fice. for purpos^s of writing him.
