North Dakota Veteran, Stationed at Camp Green During War, Pleased at Getting Station WBT.
That pleasant memories of Carolina live long, is indicated by a letter that was received at the WBT studios a few days ago from George Robinson, of Hillsboro, N. D., reminiscent of Camp Greene days.
Robinson writes that "The other evening I was trying to see how many stations I could get and was both surprised and pleased to tune in on WBT, Charlotte. It sort of brought back the happy days I had there during my stay at Camp Greene, where I was with the 184th Infantry of the 41st Division. I think you have one of the finest cities and the most hospitable people I've ever come in contact with.
"The boys of North Dakota and Montana are strong for Charlotte, whenever we get together you'll hear some fellow talk about the nice elderly lady who picked him up and took him home for a real feed, and believe me, that was a time when real feed was appreciated. I know, because I was lucky enough to be invited out several times myself. The old outfit was reorganized in 1919 and most of the boys, myself included, are members. That is, those who survived. You had a little lad from Charlotte whose surname was Charles, and who was with the Marines. He was orderly for a Marine major, and a good friend of mine; he was killed in action July 18, 1918 and I sure hated to see him go, but we all expected to get the same.
"We boys who came back to this town after the war have fared pretty well. One of the lads is State's attorney, another is sheriff and I am chief of police, while most of the others are back at their old jobs. Writing this has been like a visit to the place where people treated us like we were humans, and that is more than they did anywhere else in the East."
