nam, flying by helicopters or catching short hops on Army transports, while she was secretary to the deputy director of Joint U.S. Affairs One of the most interesting things she did for recreation was being the piano accompanist for the Military Mens Choral Group, known as the "Transonaires" who entertained the troops and are widely known even in this country where tapes of their group have been seen on T. V. Another bit of fun was given when entertainers from the States came over to entertain the troops the girls in the offices were often ask to assist she recalled the Bob Hope group last Christmas and she was behind the scenes helping, even to fixing Phyllis Dillers hair, “ what there was of it" said Miss Cripe. While in Saigon she saw her brother, Randy several times. He is with the Ist Infantry and three months ago he received the Purple Heart following a scrapnel wound in his neck. He is reovered and back with his outfit. She also saw two other boys from Walkerton when she went over, they were Donald Linton and Fred Neidlinger. From here she plans to go to California to receive her next offical assignment. She thinks she may go to Kinshasa Africa, formerly Leopoldville. She is debating whether or not to ask for Rio, Madrid or Athens instead. Her keen desire to travel and see the world has been a challange to her and perhaps many many more interesting assignments will be coming her way. An ounce of performance is worth tons of guesswork.
