SOLDIER NEWS.
A letter written on June 3, in Italy, by their son, M/Sgt. Bob Faber, reached Mr. and Mrs. M.R. Faber of Remsen, last week. He is doing ground service in the air force. Besides much of personal interest to the parents, Sgt. Faber tells of having met Wayne Kennedy, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Kennedy, shortly before both left Africa late in May. Wayne Kennedy is a radio gunner on a B-24. When the two Remsen lads met in Africa both were preparing to leave and Mr. Kennedy’s parents since have been informed that Wayne is either in England or France. Both were in high spirits.
