"You'll be getting mail a little more regularly from now on," Dropo said in his letter to his mom and dad.

Alvarez did indeed get together with his sweetheart, Terry Espinosa. They got married in 1950.

But it wasn't until Wednesday that the former Miss Espinosa got the letter and it was hand-delivered by the postmaster general of the United States. The story of the letter begins on May 21, 1944, when the missive along with 234 others from homesick soldiers aboard a troop transport was collected as the ship docked in Algeria. The letters were to have been put in the mail on the ship's return to Newport News, Va. But the GI from Raleigh, N.C., who was supposed to mail them forgot. Scared, he later stuffed them in a duffel bag with some socks and hid them in his aunt's attic.

Early this month, a termite exterminator found the duffel bag and took it to the Raleigh, N.C., postmaster, Ross Garulski. However, the exterminator, Michael Minguez, first had to promise not to mention the name of the resident of the house nor that of her nephew. Postal authorities and the Veterans Administration began to search for the senders, known only by name and wartime address. So far, they have returned 16 letters to four veterans and the son of one who had died, and on Wednesday 10 more were personally handed over to four more veterans. One letter writer, Walt Dropo, former first baseman for the Boston Red Sox, said the ship, the Caleb Strong, was attacked on the Tobacco market has sluggish opening day PELHAM, Ga.

(AP) The struggle to save Georgia's flue-cured tobacco crop from killer heat and a crippling drought has been overwhelming, says a Mitchell County farmer who sold some of his golden leaf on the opening day of flue-cured tobacco markets in south Georgia and northern Florida. Georgia's crop is reported in fair to good condition, despite the worst drought in 100 years and a heat wave that is blamed for at least 27 deaths since May 30. More than 90 percent of the state's tobacco is irrigated and growers worked day and night to insure the survival of what traditionally has been a big money crop for south Georgia farmers. 17.99 16.99 girl's oversized London" sweater Reg. 21 .00.
