Colonel Howard S. Levie (above), who
at the present time is staff judge advocate
of the Southern European Task Force, certainly
has a wonderful opportunity to see
and visit much of Europe. He writes that
just before Christmas last year he made a
trip to the French and Italian Rivieras and
to Spain. Last May, just before his final
plans were being made to attend our Thirtyyear
Reunion, he was transferred from the
Pentagon, where he had spent almost four
years, to Italy. His headquarters are in
Verona with subordinate installations in
Vicenza and Livorno. Internal legal problems,
plus numerous negotiations with the
Italians, keep him well occupied and also
afford him the opportunity to visit Rome
once a month. Howard tells us that he is
only an hour from Venice by fast train; so
if any of the members of the Class of '28
happen through the area, don't hesitate to
give him a call: Home 46426; Office 34010.
