December 16

Editor would like reports of what happened on December 16th for use in Jan., Feb., CUB. Come on fellows, don't be bashful like last year.

This was truly a 106th wedding, Dr. Cessna, was best man, the groom and the usher, Walt Bandurak are all from the 81st Eng. It seems there is nothing these Engineers can't do.

Report From the South and West
Tom Dorosky, Service Btry/592 recently had a reunion with the following 106ers, and their wives:
     Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lapham, Mr. and Mrs. Mike Sprignoli, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Fox, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Solecki, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Malony and John Eyler.
     It certainly is wonderful to hear that our 106ers still meet once in a while and hash over old times. Keep up the good work Tom and all you others throughout the Country who are helping, not only to keep the 106th together but you are keeping America strong too.
     Mike Sereno, formerly of West Orange, N. J. and 591st FABn 106th, is the golf pro at Fort Jackson. He sent a Fort Jackson newspaper to our Adjutant and informs us that he will be host for a $10,000 Golf Tournament. Ft. Jackson course is 7,002 yards around and has a par score of 36-36-72. President Eisenhower, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby have been invited to play. As Ike will be in Georgia at the time it is hoped he will participate.
     Nice going Mike. All the boys in the 106th are behind you and also your friends from West Orange. Do you remember your Editor, Doug Coffey, from Wheeler Street, and Ft. Jackson Boxing Team

     The above photo is one of the Med. Det. quartette. It was originally gotten up to sing at Medical Bn. Easter services at San Quentin France in 1945, as all of the Med. Bn. except C. Co. moved on to Rennes, their services were offered to Div. Hq Easter Service. They sang two numbers and all who heard agreed they were pretty good.
     Then at Rennes, when President Roosevelt died, they had a big Memorial Service in the Town park with all kinds of British, French and American Brass in the Band Stand in the center of the Park. General Perrin remembered this group from the Easter service and requested that they sing. These fellows were the only enlisted men on the Band Stand that day and they sang "Home on the Range" and The Old Rugged Cross"
     Fellows in the photo are our own Treasurer, Wm. Fowler. Louis Scheidt, Leon Schaddellee, and Lloyd Hoff, all of C Co., 331st Medics.
     Incidentally, those other than Fowler are unreported as members in the Association. Anyone knowing of them see what you can do to get them back in the fold.

LT. COL. CARL GOERING REPORTED BY COMMUNISTS TO HAVE DIED IN PRISON
     Lt. Col. Carl G. Goering, 48, of Springfield, is reported by the Communists to have died in an enemy prison camp, the department of defense announced.
     Lt. Col. Goering was the husband of Mrs. Louise Goering, 1601 S. Pasfield St. and son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Goering, 519 W. Herndon St. The Goerings have two sons, Carl Lewis and Warren Robert.
     His wife said she hasn't given up hope her husband is alive because she has reason to believe the Communists may be lying.
Mrs. Carl G. Goering explained:
"I know I will hear more sometime, perhaps hear what really happened from those who were with him.
     "He went to Korea in September, 1950, and was an adviser to a South Korean division when he was captured in November, 1950.
     "He was captured with a group of officers who were also advisers to the South Koreans. I was told they were evacuating wounded and that's the reason they couldn't get away.
     "Later I got one of those Chinese pictures showing a group of men the Communists said had been advisers to the South Koreans. He was identified as one of the men in the picture.
"None of those men have been listed as released yet. It doesn't look like they all would have died.
"They may still be holding him as a hostage or some other reason."
     A veteran of 13 years of army service, Lieutenant Colonel Goering was first reported missing in Korea Nov. 27, 1950, only two months after he arrived for duty in the Far East.
     Goering was a Captain in the 423 - 106th, He was the S-2 of the 423 under Colonel Cavender when captured by the Germans. It was the second time the Springfield soldier had been reported missing in action. He was listed as missing in the battle of the bulge late in World War II, when he was

Remember This?
Our Memorials Chairman, Glenn Schnizlien reports on his visit to our old stamping grounds.
     As we came back thru Indiana we managed to visit our old love - Camp Atterbury. I guess we didn't leave much of a mark there after all. We drove thru the area that once belonged to the 106th but now all the signs were 31st. Actually there were no great changes though - the parade grounds were changed in to a golf course, the Officer's club now has a very modern air conditioned bar, but the bayonet courses, obstacle courses, and training areas east of the regimental quarters still look the same. Oh yes, that big ditch still runs thru the middle of those fields between the bus stop and our area - still a trap for those coming back to camp on the last bus from a rough weekend. Enclosed is a picture of the big sign at Camp headquarters with its new paint job - remember it?

COLONEL GOERING--Continued
    taken prisoner by the Germans. At the close of the war he was released unharmed. Lieutenant Colonel Goering was one of 123 additional Americans whose name, were released by the defense department as being listed by the Communists as dead.
     However, in notifying the families of the listed Americans, the defense department stressed the complete unreliability of Communist statements about prisoners.

CONGRATULATIONS
     The above photo goes with our front cover. It is one of Dr. Harry Baird, Dr. Cessna, and Walter Bandurak, all members of the 81st Engineers.

Still Looking
     At the Convention we tried our darndest to find someone who knew Orville Wright, of the 106th. Mrs. Olive Bollia, Box 13, Maximo, Ohio, would appreciate anyone knowing where she could reach Orville. For that matter anyone knowing Charles E. Bollia please contact her.
     Mrs. D. J. Wensinger would like info regarding her brother Robert McGrady, 35297440. A Co./424. He was wounded and taken prisoner in the Bulge. He is supposed to have died in a field hospital near Redesheim, near Prum, on Jan. 1, 1945. - Help her out fellows.

WHAT A MOTLEY LOOKING CREW
    This photo was taken at Halle Airport, Germany in May 1945. These follows, Paul Merx, Vervay, Indiana, and Richard Diersing, Seattle, Washington, are both from Su/422. They are 55 pounds lighter than the day they became Hitler's guests. Who is the 3rd man?

Reminiscing
Sometimes my thoughts go turning
To those days spent 'over-sea'.
And I get a sort of yearning
Back there once more to be.
Just to visit for a little while
Those towns and folks I knew
And greet them with a friendly smile
And spend a day or two.
Recalling things that happened at
Each town or crossroads there
Now quiet, but when we first met,
Filled with misery, hatred, death,
And the utmost of despair.
Norman Lee, Anderson, Indiana
H. Co/424

Anyone having knowledge of next of kin to Malcolm Brooks or William Spencer, contact Memorial Chairman.

Merry Christmas From
The Officers, Your Editor,
and the Printers of the Cub
