American Legion Notes from England Christmas letter
The Christmas notes recount Master Sgt. Eugene T. Kelso and family’s greetings from England during a potential dock strike, visits to Margate Stratford-on-Avon Camp Gilwell and a sad trip to the U.S. for Mrs. Kelso after her father’s death. The post hosts a well attended Ladies Party, sets 1965 biweekly events, honors Edger Ricks with a cemetery cross plaque, extends sympathy to Ray Smoley on his father’s death, notes a Scout-like trash container repaint by Harvey Hassebroek, displays Commander Dean Sunde in Korean uniform, and reports rentals activity and new kitchen equipment aiding family gatherings.
