The band offers plenty Л sweet ballads and solid swing in addition to spot¬ lighting a varied collection of solo¬ ists and singing groups. One of these groups, the famous Hudson Glee Club— or A Cappella Choir— has become widely known for their smooth arrangements of both the modern and the classical. Last but not least, the Dean himself is a pretty handy guy with a trum¬ pet. FROM FLORIDA Hudson is a native of the Ever¬ glade State and a graduate of the University of Florida. It was while at college he got his first start in the band business when — with a few classmates — he formed an orchestra known as the “Florida Clubmen.” Upon graduation, Hudson de¬ cided to make music his career and organized a full-time band that was soon to become the most popular in the South — no prom below Baltimore being a hit with¬ out the good-looking Floridan to hold sway.

The let¬ ter was of such a nature that it was passed on to the Globe as being of general interest to all personnel. The letter, in part, reads as fol¬ lows: “Today I heard a local ci¬ vilian describing a talk he had with a regular Army colonel who had just come back to Fort Bragg after spending a day at Camp Lejeune. What the colonel said is, of course, an old story to us, but l am passing it on to you anyway. He wished that every enlisted man and officer in the Army could see Lejeune — not only for the fine buildings and won¬ derful policing of the post, but also for the appearance, manner, and general behavior of the per¬ sonnel. He spoke particularly of the motorcycle MPs who helped him several times when he lost his way, and of enlisted personnel in a Camp Exchange who were of great assistance when the officer endeavored to make some purchase at a crowded time. He said he had always heard of the Corps way of doing things, but this was his first experience of it, and the Marine Corps should be exceedingly proud of the entire establishment at Camp Lejeune!” SOUND GOOD It is indeed gratifying to learn that a visiting Army officer re¬ ceived such cordial and helpful as¬ sistance from the personnel of various camp activities while on a visit to Camp Lejeune. General Marston believes the favorable comments are well merited and wishes to compliment the person¬ nel of Camp Lejeune for main¬ taining such a high standard of conduct toward visitors to the Camp.
