on p. 8 in account of time spent in Indiana John mentions time spent with Henry Thurner:
"The civilians in Indiana treated the G.I.'s with open arms whenever we were on pass. The hospitality was unlimited, even invitations to private homes for Sunday dinner, if you could get a pass into town. Invitations were posted in the service clubs for anyone desiring to take advantage of them. Henry Thurner and I had girl friends in Indianapolis and we frequently double-dated."
