Abstract
As Class Advisor, Les included in his 1968 annual Thanksgiving Letter to all in the Class of 1965 his hope for all to make the Coast Guard their lifetime career. RELATED COMMENTS Les High Thanksgiving Letter Excerpts -1968 : "...Of course, June 1969 is approaching rapidly and the day of decision concerning your future career is of vital concern to all of you. Let's hope that most of the Class has decided to make the Service a career and that you are happy with what you have been doing or in what you see for yourself in the future. We hope the Service has been challenging to you and that you see an opportunity to contribute your efforts, energies and talents in the improvement of the Coast Guard in the years to come. Although the Coast Guard may not be all you wish it to be, it can provide you with one of the most rewarding and humanitarian jobs in the world. For those few who might be considering other endeavors outside the Military life, please give careful consideration to all the pros and cons to insure that you are making the best decision for you. Your close Coast Guard family ties and friendships will be very difficult to replace outside the Service. Carol and I will miss those of you who leave, but that does not mean we no longer have an interest in you. We want to hear from all the Class and will be available to assist any and all of you in any way that we can. "Once a Class Advisor, Always a Class Advisor".
