welcome news recently telling us that
Bill had been found in a cellar in Ger
many and was safe. Just a few days
after Mrs. DeCew was here we received
a short V-Mail letter from Bill himself,
telling us of the good news. The letter
follows:
Barbara Collier, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. E. A. Collier of 1249 S. Commer
cial, who has been promoted to aerogra-
pher’s mate 1/c. She has been stationed
with the navy weather bureau in Wash
ington, D.C. Miss Collier attended Sa
lem grammar schools, was graduated
from Grant high in Portland, and at
tended the University of Oregon.
Thanks to interesting C.P.A. News,
published by the Division of Audits of
the office of Secretary of State, we have
the following:
Mrs. Bill DeCew brought us very
"Hello Everyone:
They knocked me down but not out.
A ME 109 got us March 2nd causing
me to leave the plane for the ground
by way of a parachute. Been a POW
from that time until just a few days
ago when they liberated us. Has been
rough at times but guess the experience
was worth it.
Although still in Germany, I will
soon be on my way to the states and
then home. Will no doubt be able to
stop in Salem.
