Dear, Ben
I'm the daughter of Frank Hupman 460th C. I attended many reunions with my Father, till he passed in in 1992. I still have contact with a few other members who remember me.
I was watching a program on the history channel it was a documentary about World War two paratroopers, They did not mention the 517th.
I have watched several shows on the same theme but have never heard any thing on the 517th. Why do they not talk about the 517th?  
My husband and I both enjoy watching shows/ documentary on World War Two, we look forward to hearing from you. 
 
Thank you!
Marion Hupman

Hi Ben,

    Wow!  This is great.  I hope they do find a picture.  I will call St.
Louis first thing in the morning, hopefully it will not matter that it is my
uncle, not my father.  Please thank the Curtis family for me and thanks to
you once again!
