Sir is with great sorrow that we learn of your loss Maxine and I and my family The Christman's.
      I had the pleasure of sitting next to Ginny at dinner in Columbus Ga. You told the story About southern France and the lady complaining about the loss of her onions I said to Ginny I didn't  know he knew about that and she replied he knew about every thing.
May the Lord Bless You and yours
Respectfully

Hi Mr. Barrett,

Yes I do receive Mail Call, it’s the 1st thing I open each morning.  I appreciate all that you do.  I wish my Dad was alive to see it.

For whatever reason there is a 20 in front of my email address.

 Again thanks so much.

Lud Gibbons

Hi Ben,
 
Worked.
Sixty one years ago today or close.
 
You had us worried!
It was sure good to hear that you made the Florida Reunion & that we will see you in Palm Springs.
Bill Christian was sure glad to get the news.
 
Like many others, look forward to and enjoy mail call.
 
Thanks
 
Lud

Ben:
    Would you please post a notice in Mail Call inquiring about the whereabouts of Russ Brami. The Telephone Company servicing Russ's last known residence at Cedar Key, FL reported he left no forwarding address.  This is not like Russ.
