An orphan once — now the proud possessor of two brand
new parents — Geoff Walter is a four-leaf clover
boy for the first time
That constant search for something he didn't have must have been behind Geoffrey Walter's transfer from the navy to the Army Air Corps two years ago. And at Randolph field, he met another trainee, Sergeant John Dombeck, Jr., of Kelly Lake, Minnesota, one of four children in a fine, closely-knit family. John was lonely for his three brothers and his sister, and Geoffrey was just plain lonely. A close friendship developed.
John Dombeck liked to talk about his family, and Geoffrey Walter loved to listen. He began referring to Dombeck as his "brother," and Dombeck encouraged a correspondence between his friend and his parents.
A year ago, shortly before Christmas, Mom Dombeck packed a box for her son's friend. "He cried like a baby, mom," John Dombeck wrote. "It was the first time anyone had ever sent him anything— for Christmas or for any time."
Mrs. Dombeck thought it over, and wrote Geoff a letter. "We don't have much," she said, "but you're always welcome here. This can be your home. If it will make you feel surer of yourself, we'd like to adopt you as our son."
He was returning from an 18-day leave when he stopped off in Chicago and found his way to Welcome Travelers. The leave had been spent with his new parents, and Geoffrey Walter was a happy boy.
"I expect to be shipped overseas soon," he told me, "and I won't mind, now that / have a home and a family. I don't think I ever realized what was wrong with me 'til I saw my new parents. I'm going to try to get back to visit them again for a few days before I go overseas. Whether I make it or not, I'm still lucky to have such wonderful people for a mother and father. They're really great."
I've never met the senior Dombecks, but I think they're great, too.
