Lt Colonel Wayne Freas
Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio
Dear Wayne,
Colonel Des Fortes just phoned stating you have to justify once again our
extremely efficient Dragon Lady logistical support organization.
While the attached chart is being drawn, though:I would write this note to
extend our offer for anyother information you might need.
Mr. Pittman and Mr. Packard spent yesterday with us securing informa-
tion and being briefed by TSgt Ridley and myself. Believe they learned a
lot, also believe they have much more to learn. Perhaps they should
return. We will assist them at anytime.
Sincerely,
HEADQUARTERS
