Home from Overseas
After spending 35 months in the South Pacific war theatre, T.Sgt. Gordon Anderson is visiting at the home of his parents, the Louis Andersons, at Crown Point. He entered service over three years ago and soon went overseas. Gordon, looking and feeling fit, brought many interesting things home from the south Pacific. He is well known here having lived here with his parents when he was a boy, at the time his father was manager of the Borden milk plant in Lowell. He has been attached to the Fifth air force.
