LETTER TO EDITOR
Newfoundland
April 25, 1954
D ear Friends,
I received your April 8th edition
of the Brookings-H arbor Pilot to
day and couldn’t help reading
your letters to the E ditor per
taining to our school and it’s ju s
tice. I feel I m ust agree on all
that was said.
As an ex-m em ber of the Brook
ings basketball and baseball team
I had to live by the sam e rules
th a t are in effect today. Some, I
thought at the time, w ere a little
stiff but I tried to live by them
all the same. This m ay be a sm all
thing but it had a lot to do with
my future life.
I joined the A ir Force shortly
before I was to graduate. In the
Air Force I found m ore rules and
regulations than 1 could ever hope
to count but all had to be obeyed.
I had some tim e getting use to
all of them but now- I find each
one has its one use and meaning.
No law or regulation is ever
m ade to harm you but to protect
you if you’ll just obey them. In
both of my two overseas assign
m ents I have to represent not
only the USAF but the whole
United S tates as well.
As for responsibility 1 have a
wife and child to tak e care of.
As for my job, I ’m a Senior en
gineer on a 63 ft. Crash boat
W hether my job is done correctly
or not may m ean the lives of
every m em ber aboard plus the

ones in trouble be it a plane crash
or ship wreck.
I know’ I would not be able to
assum e full responsibility for a
job like this had I not had the
help of first, my m other and
father, second, the school and ALL
the very fine people who m ake up
the school faculty and third, and
one of the m ost im portant, is my
many friends in Brookings and
H arbor. F or I feel 1 was a very
lucky lad to have so m any won
derful people take a personal in
terest in me and my problems.
Now, I w’ould like to m ake a
suggestion to those who m ay be
having a few’ troubkes. Ju st sit
down and ask yourself these 2
questions: Did I do the right
th in g ’ —Did I h urt anyone by
doing w’hat I did? When you ask
yourself these two questions keep
in mind for every tim e you hurt
someone you hurt yourself a dozen
tim e in a dozen different ways.
Your friend always,
