Something happened here today that I think will make good copy for the Eagle-Bulletin: I was out in front of the postoffice unloading mail bags from a truck when I noticed an air force officer pass by. The slight notice I gave that usual happening led me to believe that I knew that person. The brain worked, and I called to him. He looked around and a big smile lit up the face of Lt. Burns Neveldine. He came back, and the usual greetings took place. He confessed to knowing that I was in London, but its such a big city that its hard to find one particular person. We stood there on Oxford street with streams of people passing by, and talked of nothing but home and all the fellows we knew, 'way back when! As you know, I was over here before Burns ever got into the Army. He slugged out 23 missions with bombs while I have thrown all kinds of mail at those cases and bags, both very necessary to the war effort, I agree, but direct contrasts, too. It was a very pleasant few minutes we spent there and he is stopping in again tomorrow. I hope to see him again before either one of us leave the U. K. Yes, it was old home day right in the middle of London, England! Old neighbors met, and how pleasant it was. I hope to see you again soon, the sooner the better!
