Dear Herschel:
Thanks for your very interesting and informative
letter of 20 March, It came while I was away at jet
school,
I have just returned and feel a Little bit more
qualified to wear my wings now that I can fly something
that isn't quite so antiquated.
Of course, General ifoorman saw your letter immediately after its arrival and I am sure that it must have
answered some of the questions in his mind. Incidentally,
he has since been assured by other sources that you all
have been doing a fine job. Naturally, we all had questions in our minds when the news first broke so it is
reassuring to know that the Air Weather Service is maintaining its usual high standards, I have just this
morning passed the information in your letter on to the
staff.
