E-mail: coachmiller2028@yahoo.com 		My condolences to the Barrett family. On the news this morning they were talking about a man losing his $53 million down on a Villa Leopolda, a 20-acre (8 hectare) estate with views of the bay at Villefranche and the Mediterranean Sea, fetched a world record price for a home, the Nice-Matin newspaper said when it reported the agreement in 2008. Residences in the French Riviera, chiefly at Cap Ferrat and Monaco, vie with London as the most expensive in the world, according to adviser Knight Frank LLP. So was this the same one that all of the photos I've seen of guys in the 460th been in, please help. Jim

Admin reply: Yes, it was the same villa. See http://www.517prct.org/mailcall/1974.htm

E-mail: mjdevaney1@hotmail.com 		Our condolences to the Barrett family. My husband & I had the pleasure of visiting with Ben on a few occasions at his home in Cohasset. We had the opportunity to hear first hand his amazing stories regarding the 517th. Without Ben's assistance, and the contacts that were made through the 517th website, I was able to reach out to people who knew my Uncle from the 596th. For that I am truly grateful.

Sincerely,

Mark & Jolene Devaney

E-mail: je75main@gmail.com 		My Uncle was Stephen R. Stepek, came out of the service as a cpl, Co. C 517th pir. I'm sending for his military records. He enlisted Sep 3, 1943. Honorable discharge Oct 13, 1945. Not sure when he joined the 517th, yet. His purple heart says he was wounded Jan 16th, 1945. I know he was with the 517th at that time as a pfc. I believe he served under Lt Marks. I'd love to hear from anyone that knew him or heard of my uncle.

Name: Bart Whatcott
From: Kanosh, Utah
E-mail: bwhatcott@co.millard.ut.us 		I am looking for a 517th combat patch for my fathers Class-A coat. It will be put in a glass case at the local armory. I have just about all his medals. It should look pretty nice when completed. He was a member of Headquarters Company. I recently ran on to some of his pictures.

Admin reply: Pvt. Garn A. Whatcott was in HQ Company, 1st Bn.

Name: Debbie Schmidt-Martin
From: Peoria, Illinois
E-mail: deb-martin@comcast.net 		Ervin Daniel Schmidt was my uncle (Dad's brother) and was in 517th Company F. He was killed January 8, 1945, in Battle of the Bulge, leaving behind a very special wife, Mildred (Mil). She passed away in October, 2009 and was such a wonderful woman. I miss her dearly and her stories of how much she loved Erv. My Uncle John, my dad and I would love to find people who knew my Uncle Ervin. Thank you all for your service and I hope we can make sure that the many, many sacrifices that have been made are not ever forgotten.
