Reseña del editor
Madeline I. Murray (Rough Duty, page 3) spent almost three years in the Waves. She was discharged as a Storekeeper, 1st Class, and still belongs to the Reserve Unit in Boston.
Back in civilian life "The Mad Murray," as she dubs herself, works for the John Hancock Insurance Company and attends the Boston University school of public relations three nights a week. In her spare time she performs with the Clarendon Players and The Troopers, the latter of which is a group of old faithful entertainers who still go around to the hospitals and entertain the veterans. She's really letting you in on a secret, you hospital veterans, for she always hopes "no one will recognize me - because I am very, very far from a glamorous gal on these trips - my partner and I dress up as comedy scrub-women and 1880 bathing beauties. But the patients laugh - and that is better than a view of the ceiling or four walls." We're sure they appreciate your efforts, Madeline - both written and performed!
Ed Galing, who writes of The Navy in the Air, page 9, served in the Army during the war. He knows about the Navy, though, because after a period as a civilian upon his return home, he signed up with the Naval Reserve as a stationkeeper, working at NAS Willow Grove, Pennsylvania.
As for writing, he declares, "I have always been doing this," and his service with the 3rd Army Headquarters enabled him to gather material in such places as Munich, Heidelberg, France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy. You may have seen his work in Stars and Stripes and Our Navy. He has won prizes in various writing contests and attended Temple University as well as a local school, where he studied radio writing. Mr. Galing wants to write a novel, and you'll probably be seeing his name some more!
Raymond E. Musser (The Night the Witches Wander, page 11) is such an Old Faithful that we're sure nearly all Link readers know him from former issues. For the benefit of any new readers, however, we'll say that Mr. Musser is pastor of a thriving young flock in Roanoke, Virginia. That philosophical-comical outlook he has on every subject he sends to us is derived, we believe, from close association with you and you in his 34 months of service as an Army chaplain.
Earl Hamon (The Phone Call, page 22) is principal of a high school in Pawnee, Oklahoma, having graduated from Oklahoma A & M College. He served some 50 months in the Army, 34 of which were in the Mediterranean area. Leaving the service as a captain, he came back resolved to write if he could "find any time at all. He's found it, and with this, his first sale, as an impetus, we think he'll manage to find some more.
