Dear Editor:
A year has passed since my
arrival as the Air Force Represen-
tative in Iowa City. My job as an
Air Force representative brings
with it lots of joy, enabling me to
help people obtain valuable job
training, job experience, and a
college degree
while serving their
country and preserving the free-
doms which we all enjoy and otten
take for granted.
My job would not be possible
without the support of the people
in tl~ fine community - F_,duca-
tots, County & City Personnel, the
Media, and last, but not least, the
young men and women who have
given me the opportunity to share
the Air Force story.
To each and everyone I extend
my most sincerest thanks and best
wishes.
