I am really fortunate. We have two grandsons who have requested the
picture Jerrie had done for me with my metals, etc. In addition, she
copies each of your e-mails, and I have organized them and put them away for
these college grandsons. My military days are a treasure for us because of
my fellow friends. The majority of the fellows that I visited and they
visited after we returned home have left us, but one of the interest of my
shut-in days is correspondence through e-mail. I know you have gotten
tired, but thank you and your helpers for all that you do to keep us in
touch.
We were saddened to learn about Polk passing away. We
enjoyed being with them so much in Europe.

Thanks for your interest and your kind
donation !
Would you mind if I asked you a few questions about the 517th
from time to time ?
We
do not have as many 517th men come to the reunion as the other three regiments
(mostly 506th), and I have so much going on with operations for the reunion that
I do not get a chance to talk with them.
I exchanged a few emails with LTC Boyle and I
have not heard from him in a while.
Do you know how he is doing ?
Was the 460th and the 596th at Toccoa with the
517th ?
I
think we need to include them also but some of the other people here say they
joined you all after you went to Fort Benning. I thought you might be able to
help me with this.
I
look forward to your book and adding it to our museum.
