Capt. Stoddard also cited the employees of Hawthorne Aviation who contributed $600 to the campaign. Since they are not military or Army civilian employees, their con- tributions would normally have gone direct to the United Fund, but they requested it be counted as part of Dugways total to the CFC.

John tried to brake, but the road was a glare of ice in that area, so all he could do was turn the car slightly so we. wouldnt hit the cattle head on. Our little Cavalier became a bowling ball with the cattle except the hall bounced off the pins! We end- ed up down the road when the car spun around. The pas- - ; in the back of me said he thought for sure Id have a of me. The windshield shat tered. I have to take his word for it; because as soon as we hit the cattle, I closed my eyes and didnt open them un- til we stopped! The accident shook me up, . as pins cow in my lap.
