Tom Gillies Greets Alumni From the Big Horn Basin
Tom Gillies sends a rambling letter to alumni describing busy seasons in the Big Horn basin with farming and stock-raising shortages, wartime service, oil prospecting, seismographs, and a sense of community pride amid troop trains and radio news from Europe. He notes doctors and nurses scarcity in Cody and Worland, a surge in service members, and plans for reunion tales as war continues.
