Show George Atkin spent a three-days furlough with his parents in Milford. He arrived Friday evening and then joined the band at Lagoon on Tuesday, Tues-day, the 16th. George was given a ball at the opera house on Saturday evening by his friends. It was pronounced pro-nounced one of the enjoyable events of the season. He played traps while Al. Kirk did "his bit" at dancing, then his cornet arrived and he played play-ed with the orchestra and as a finale "Al. and George" were left with the musical end of it alone and the two old pals made music that caused one to forget the horrors of war or that George's name was numbered among the stars on the service flag. It seemed like all the musicians were "at home" once more. George's record rec-ord at Camp Kearny is one to be proud of, and from Bandmaster Hawkins and officers down every one says he is a valuable acquisition to Camp Kearny, and the Milford boy. as he is often called, is looked up to as one of the most likable fellows there. He returned feeling fine and full of appreciation for the attention bestowed by his Milford friends. He will be in Milford for a few hours this eveulng on his return fiom Bearer. |
