Landed Marine

Beatrice Swartzbough very proudly told me of the marriage of her daughter, Anne, who was formerly employed in the Relief Association, Navy Day, October 27. The lucky man is also very well known around here, he's Jack Armstrong, one of the Marines now stationed in Building No. 26.

Reporting that the good old Texas air felt pretty "doggone" good, Delia Knight came back from her two weeks' visit to her parents' home in the Lone Star State with tales of her good times and nothing more disastrous than a mighty sore back which came from misjudging a temperamental horse. Her younger brother, home from overseas on furlough, was the force which prompted the visit and we think she did the right thing for, just between you and me, what soldier could help but have his morale lifted by a visit from the irresistible "Punky?"

Did you hear about the time Billie Keck had to ask the guards to open both gates so she could driver her car in?

NCR Wedding

Congratulations to Bob Shade, a sailor here in Building No. 26, who married Betty Schiebrel, of Standards Department, Building No. 10, Saturday November 18. All their friends here wish them lots of luck.

Here's one for Ripley! Believe it or not, Bill Grundisch sprained his neck while buying an overcoat! The story goes that the clerk jerked on the coat too hard while fitting it, causing the damage resulting in a trip to the hospital for Bill.

Congratulations to Cliff Myers, whose wife recently presented him with a fine baby boy.

We're announcing Virginia Bow's engagement to sailor Frederick Scruby and at the same time we're wondering what Gilley and others are going to do now.

Isn't he cute, girls? He's Johnny Serena, our newest most curly-headed messenger boy.

SPOTLIGHT

Al and Robert Heinrich

This month, we are proud to present Al Heinrich, job foreman on production, who willingly shares the spotlight with his son, Robert C. Heinrich of the U. S. Army, stationed at Ft. McClellan. Al has been with the Company since 1929 and Bob worked here in the Foundry a year before he entered the Service. Extremely proud of his 19-year-old soldier son, Al, as one of the friendlist personalieis of the building, is easy to know and nice towork with. He's quiet and modest but he gets his job done well. He tells me he's been interested in radio for quite a number of years, a background which has helped him in his work. You'll want to know Al, and when you do you're sure to learn to know Bob.
