Hey Ben,
Thanks for Audrey's address, I will contact her, I don't think I met her in Savannah, but I will see if she would like a copy of the tape, & if so, I will send it to her. Ben, you & Bob do a great service for the 517, & I appreciate that very much. People don't understand why I have such a great interest in the 517, & old Veterans, & I can't make some of them understand, but some do. Anyway, Thanks a heap. Regards, Morris.
