While recovering from a rough ease of laryngitis and also trying to recover his voice at the same time in the Station Hospital, Tech Joseph A. Bonvicino of the 70th Div. Hq. Det. had a lot of time to think about his favorite pin-up girls even though he couldn't talk about them. Although he didn't approach Miss Betty Grable through the mails for the lovely picture he received, he did send her Yuletide greetings from the Trailblazer Division and the picture was the result of his fond wishes. To make it perfect, Bonvicino says with his newly-recovered vocal Rufus Gl chords, the personally-inscribed picture arrived on Christmas day. Joe has firmly convinced him» self that the cooperative Miss Gra ble would just as quickly respond to an invitation to visit Camp Adair, the 70th Division and, of course Joe. His convictions have led him to the point of writing * letter inviting the lady with the glamorized legs to come north and make the Army, and Joe, happy. "Who knows?” he grinned when asked whether he really thought she would say, “Yea." (Ed. note: Joe, what will Elena Tsk, tsk!) By Pfc.
