GENERAL
July 11, 1970
Dear Karl:
It's great to hear from you. One of the best parts of this job
is hearing from old friends from school and the service that
I've lost track of.
I don't recall seeing you in England but I was at Bungay with
the 446th in B-24s. I was on a lead crew and flew so seldom
that I was still there at V-E Day.
I went back to UCLA and on to Stanford Law School. We got
married in law school and I turned down California jobs and
went to Seattle where another attorney and I started a practice.
We got pretty well settled down there in 18 years and the move
here was quite a wrench for all of us.
We have 5 children -- 3 boys and 2 girls -- who this week are
scattered all over the country from Alaska to California to
Colorado. Our youngsters look to be about the same ages
as yours.
If you find yourself down this way, I hope you'll let me know you're
coming so that we can get together.
Thanks for taking the time to write.
Yours sincerely,
John D. Ehrlichman
Assistant to the President
for Domestic Affairs

Mr. John Thrlichman
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear John:
For the nest several weeks I have been meaning to write
you and finally the opportunity presents itself. Farly in the year
T caught a TV newscast in which reference was made to a , John
Phrlichman, advisor to the President' and T said to Janet that
cen't be the same John Phrlichman T knew in the service - or could
it'. After one of the national newsmamazines carried your picture
I knew it had to be.
With the time passage of some 26-27 years, I cen't remember
exactly when and where we were in the Air Force together but do recall
that it was in the Aviation Cadet program we met. You were a Navige-
tor and : was a Combardier and I imagine we were grouped somewhere
along the line because of the alo abetical sequence of our lest names.
T remember your home was in Santa Ana, Celif. and it was typical Army
luck that you weren't assigned to the Cedet base these instead of to
Texas. The erticle I read about you recently said you now lived in
Seettle.
I dug out my old Army foot-locker and went through some of
the old class books from pre-flicht, cunnery, etc., to see if it would
identify where we met but had no success. I did come scross an old
dusty letter which you hai sent me from Davis-Monthen Field in Arizona
when we were in crew training and I was at Colorado Springs on the way
to being trans ferred to Mountain Home, Ideho. I also have a vague re-
collection of having biked over to your base in England but can't re-
member if you were in 17's or 24's. I was in the latter with the 93rd
30 at Hardwicke. After losing my original crew after 11 missions I ro-
tated to other lead crews until we were finally shot up over Hamburg on
my 20th and were interned in Sweden in Jan. 11.5. That, as you can well
imagine, was a very lucky break.
After the wer, I came back to Madison and "inished my Senior
year et the TW in Marketing and Advertising. Went to work for a firm
in Chicago and discovered after 8 short while that I didn't care for
the bi- city. Moved back to Medison and have been here ever since with

As you can see from the enclosed copy of our Christmas
card from last year, Janet and I are kept from having much idle
time by trying to raise our femily of 5 sons. Believe me when I
say it's a challenge !
Enough of my autobiography, John. I know from daily
press stories how busy your life must now be. When you have 8
chance, however, I'd very much like to hear some background on
how you came out of the War; what you did afterwards SO far as
school and jobs were concerned; the status of your family, etc.
Also, if you can shed any light from your recollections on how
and where our paths crossed.
Best regards.
