LETTER #28 - 22 JUNE 1944 & LETTER #29 - 29 JUNE 1944 FROM PRIVATE RAYMOND KUBICK JR.

Uncle Louie's bunkmate - Ray Kubick Jr.




My Little Notes:
Well looks like some time between the last letter from April and this letter in June that Louie finally got to go on furlough!  Looks like he went with his bunkmate Ray Kubick by train to Chicago.  Not sure where Ray originally is from, but does sound like he really appreciated their hospitality.  Would love to find his family and share this!

Traux field housing unit

Truax Housing single men's living quarters, bunks and linens furnished, rent $13 per person a month.  circa 1945-1950 (hmmm, note the "no smoking" sign on the mirror.  Someone is not following the rules!)

  1. Ha, I'm laughing at the "no smoking" photo. It's great to see Louis made a friend at his new base. Ray is a great writer and very polite. Another great post, thanks Cindy.

    1. No problem! Glad to share and maybe there are more Ray's letters down the line. I have not peaked yet!
