Pfc. Walter E. Nabinger, 302nd Tech. Sc. Sq. is definitely an artist in his own line—even to the extent that he works for nothing.
Private Nabinger is the mild mannered Syracuse, N. Y., Soldier who writes love letters, at any specified temperature, to the current heart throbs of all his buddies—and when they reach gratefully for their wallets, he just smiles and waves them away.
"I got the writing habit as correspondence secretary for the Goodyear Tire Service back in Syracuse," explains this modern Cyrano. "After handling thousands of letters of complaint, a love letter is just a breeze. You don't have to worry about the mood of the girl who gets the letter. In fact, she'll probably see some high class adjectives I didn't write."
Private Nabinger isn't afraid of too much "business." Sixty-five members of his Boy Scout troop, and about 200 men in his New York State Guard regiment write him regularly. So....what matter, a few extra missives?
