Walt Smith

Tom, I read your mail to Ben relating to your assignment in or around Columbus, OH. I found your email address in the first Reber publication that I picked up which was a 2oo4 edition. of the Reber Roster. It might surprise you that some Buckeyes are only benignly hostile, not serious at all! I personally wish you a joyous welcome to Columbus, Wisconsin Badgers and all.

Your profession sounds interesting. Of course, not having talked to you, I have no idea what exactly you do or with what company if not your own company I will make this brief in the event that you are swamped as your missive to Ben suggests. If you are not swamped as all that, I will say that I am Walter Smith formerly in Hq. co. of the 1st Bn of 517. I note that your Lt. father was in Hq of the 3rd Bn. I live across the river from the OSU campus. 1730 Rhoda Ave. (I will have to admit that some of the Buckeye fans are almost rabidly hostile and destructive. That is a shame.)

Good luck in your stay here walt
