The following November 2, 1950, Lowell Tribune article was found on page 1, column 6:
    Pvt. Ronald E. Donham, 21, son of Ira Donham, Route 2, Lowell, Ind., has begun a course of indoctrination training at Lackland Air Force Base, "The Gateway to the Air Force," San Antonio, Texas.

    In the basic training at Lackland he will receive a well rounded military preparatory schooling for progress in a specialized Air Force career. During this initial course he will be given complete vocational and aptitude testing along personal guidance counseling to determine his entrance into a suitable technical training assignment on leaving The Gateway Base.

    Besides constituting the only Air Force station for indoctrination training of all new airmen, Lackland is a reassignment and training center for re-enlistees , home of USAF Officer Candidate School and the Human Resources Research Center.
