Subject: 1030th AAFBU - Santa Monica, CA
Anyone have any information about it?
My grandfather (Amos “Bud” Herr Brubaker) was there for some period of time between 1941 and 1945. He designed the logo: 
Most of what I know, came from someone he met there, who unfortunately, hasn’t written me back in some time… He writes, “The 1030th AAFBU was a rest and relaxation base (or perhaps more accurately, a spa) for Army Air Force personnel returning from overseas duty while they awaited reassignment. ” I can never seem to find anything when searching for more info.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Ben

Hey, Ben -
I think I’m the guy you accused of “unfortunately . . . not writing back”. Some nerve. It sometimes takes a year or two. Or three or four. But I always “write back”.
How about emailing me some more samples of Brubaker’s works?
My best, Ralph
Hi Ralph!
Good hearing from you.
I’ll see if I can find something around here…
