S-Sgt. B. J. Norris Serving in Ben Hoa
    Staff Sergeant Billy J. Norris, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Farmer of
Greenville, is serving with the American forces in Viet Nam.  He is with the
Air Force Munitions Maintenance Squadron in Ben Hoa.  His letters tell of long
hours of work and little rest.
    A fifteen-year Air Force veteran, Sgt. Norris served in the Korean Theatre
during that conflict in 1951-1952.  In September of 1965, he and his family
returned from a four-year tour of duty in Germany.  During this time, he earned
the Air Force Commendation Medal.  He was assigned to Perrin AFB, Sherman,
prior to his departure for Viet Nam.  While there, he was selected as NCO of
the month.
    His wife, Patricia, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Omer Lyday of Celeste.
She resides at 625 Hillside Drive, Sherman, with children:  Johnny, 14; Sue,
10; William, 8; Debra, 4; Charles, 3; and Jimmy, 2.

    Jap Dennis of San Angelo was here over the weekend to visit his sister,
Mrs. J. A. Pearce.  He formerly lived here and was in business here for many
years.

    Card of Thanks
    Our sincerest thanks to our many friends and relatives who helped us during
our time of need.  Your thoughtfulness, generosity, words of love and
encouragement and prayers meant more than we could ever express.  We thank you
from the bottom of our hearts.  May God less you all.
