First Lieut. Donald W. Bollard, 26, of Estherville, has arrived at the Army air force redistribution station No. 2 at Miami Beach, Fla., for reassignment processing after completing a tour of duty outside the continental United States.

Medical examinations and classification interviews at this post, pioneer of several redistribution stations operated by the AAF personnel distribution command for AAF returnee officers and enlisted men, will determine his new assignment. He will remain at the redistribution station two weeks, much of which will be devoted to rest and recreation.
