PRESS BOX GETS A LETTER
DEAR ARCHIE:
Being a subscriber to the Times and a native Miamian I take the
liberty to drop the few lines, to say I enjoy your column, “Press Box,”
and to check on a bit of information.
When I referred to myself as a native Miamian, I should have
said one who has strayed away for quite some time. I enlisted in the
Army from Miami in 1941 after basic training, I caught a boat, and
landed in the Central, and Southwest Pacific, and after the smoke
cleared I made a retrograde movement for home, but I soon found out
that this boy had become a part of me so here I am with ten years
under my belt, with five of them in Germany.
I have the understanding that you, live in Richmond Heights, if
this is true, then you may be able to give me some information, or
put me on the right track. From what I have been told, Richmond
Heights is one of the better housing settlements in and around Miami
for our race. I would like very much to purchase a home for my
mother upon my return to America, which will be early next year.
However, I would like to know something about the price, location
and etc., before returning, so 1 will know what to expect. So if this
won’t cause you too much trouble ( I would genuinely appreciate it, if
.you would put me on the right road home (smile.)
I have been trying very hard to remember you when I was chas
ing around 2nd ave., but can’t seem to do so. I used to hang around
Dr. Landry’s Drug store on 7th and 2nd when I was quite small, later
I worked for my dear late friend. Dr. W. B. Sawyer, and for a while
I was Dr. Benson’s shadow and was often referred to as Rod. Should
you see Bill Sawyer, Mrs. Sawyer, Dr. Hawkins, Dr. 1. P. Davis, Dr.
arid Mrs. Green, please give them best regards from Red.
Knowing we are all on the move, and not having but a limited
amount of time for myself, I will have to bring this note to an end,
however I enjoyed typing it (such as it is.) Please give the family my
best regards, and when time permits, drop a line it will be most wel
comed.
