Editor’s Note It is with some measure of satisfaction that I complete this volume I have been contracted to prepare. There is much left unsaid and so many people not acknwledged, due to the thousands that pass through the gates of Camp Wainwright each year. This fact also required information to be recorded in a general sense rather that a sincerely detailed nature. Having no background knowledge in military procedures or language, it was sometimes a struggle to understand well enough to scribe; I apologize for any misuse of terminology. My dad was called upon many times for confirmation on everything from planes to puttees. This being the first project of this nature for me to tackle, I thank Camp Wainwright for giving me the opportunity to try. Unfortunately, with layout, photos and text to be done, time restraints did not allow a thorough account to be researched and written by myself. What you see is three months of work. My family has been very patient as this project has been in progress. They’ve listened to buffalo news, internment camp procedures, Korean conflict and training field trivia. They’ve heard computer beeps emitting from the “dungeon” of our basement at strange hours of the morning, tripped over mounds of papers and binders strewn upstairs and down, and accepted the absence of freshly baked goodies from the kitchen. We shall call this a transition period for everyone concerned. Part-time employment involves me with adult literacy so my major accomplishment for International Literacy Year 1990 is the completion of this book. I hope you enjoy it! Wishing Camp Wainwright a terrific 50th Anniversary year! Sincerely, Marsha Scribner
