The Ring – February 20, 1948
To review: On January 28, 1948, Mr B sent a letter to the Adjutant General’s office in St. Louis, Missouri. He requested that his enclosed letter be delivered to John Oliver Buslee’s parents. It took three weeks for a letter to be drafted and sent to the Buslees. Along with Mr. B’s letter was this one from Colonel Charles D. Carle.

Imagine the Buslee’s surprise upon receiving the letter from Mr. B and hearing that their son’s ring had surfaced, and in all places – Czechoslovakia.
