Dear Ron,
My apologies for getting this information off to you;
quite a long time to get it pulled together and even then,
it is as complete as you requested.

winner. In addition, Major Young has requested that the Army IO

Heep you posted on it.
About the specific stories, it is almost impossible to track them

the medics. The information channels didn't turn up anything.
I can't be more helpful on this score.
I'll enclose a few more photos. We've been collecting photos as we
went along here and Major Young has asked about 5 different units in the field
to submit thom, in addition. But, as you can see, the quality isn't too
good. the Log Command is still processing some better ones--but even then,
they are mediocre. The only other alternative is to try to contact some of
the professional photographers here, such as im Pickerell. I'll await your
cable before doing that, however.
All of this didn't take much time; so if there are any added expenses,
let's figure it up after your piece and photos are in.
Sorriest I didn't see Jill's photo. One issue of Newsweek was banned
here. Please give both of them my best.
And, of course, happiest holidays to you-
Bev
