This 1970 USAF Office of Information file from the 21st Air Division at Hancock Field, Syracuse, collects community relations correspondence. It includes Enrico Grimaldi's report of faint star-like objects seen over Commack, Long Island on November 21, 1970, and Major Francis C. Moriarty's reply. The reply notes that Project Blue Book ended December 17, 1969, so the Air Force would not investigate. The file also holds a draft article on NORAD and SAGE, survey requests, thank-you letters and press tour messages.

WILBUR AVE. PHONE (AREA 315) 475-5141 Air Force Base Office of Information Hancock Field Syracuse, New York Gentlemen: On behalf of the residents and employees, I would like to thank you sincerely for the wonderful parachute you so generously donated to the school. The Recreation and Volunteer Departments are using the parachute in play therapy for the residents. The children enjoy their new "toy" very much, and many creative type of games and activities are being developed through the use of the parachute. We feel that this piece of apparatus will further develop a child's finger and hand coordination when he grasps hold of it with his fellow students and raises and lowers the billowing parachute through the air. It is also a great exercisor for their arm, shoulder, ab-dominal and back muscles. It has many infinite uses, and will be one of the most interesting and important pieces of equipment we have for the residents. We appreciate your interest in, and support of, the mentally retarded, and hope it will continue in the future. Very truly yours, George Mcullough George J. Buchholtz, M. D. Director KMC/bh Good Show. May M
