Received Mar 27 1945 Presidents Office
March 24 1945 Dear Sir: First, in regards to your record section, I am no longer an a/c. graduated from that corps last May 25 and have since been promoted to the grade of 1st Lt.

Minor sport and those things one can enjoy in later life are things I intend to take up on my return - golf - tennis and swimming.

Sincerely Donald C. Schaffer 1st Lt. Air Corps
