Hello,
Has anyone news about Martha Berg? Last
three mails to her were undeliverable.
When you send changes in your
address to me also send them to Tom Reber reber83@insightbb.com . so that he can attempt to
keep the roster www.517prct.org/roster.pdf up to date. Only Tom could
take on this task

Harris Johnson
Ben,
Enlisted man
Lawrence P. Shipp, 517th Service Company -Italy through Battle of the Bulge -
died early Saturday morning, 9 September 2006, in Norfolk,
Virginia.
His papers
will come to me and if there is anything of possible interest to the group, I
will pass it along.

I am re-sending the 517th roster with all of the recent
corrections. My wife and I both fly out tomorrow for business
trips (different destinations), and I wanted you all to have the most recent
copies. Again, watch the tabs and different data sorts.
I think by pushing all of the address changes directly
to me, Bob & Ben, it will make Bob Christie's life much less
complicated.
Bob Christie, my overdue dues are coming!
Wishing you all the best.
Tom Reber
Virginia Jorgen
Ben, So sorry about that. I
will have to call her to find out. I must have gotten it
wrong. Will let you know. Boy, you sure have been having
great MailCalls lately. Virginia
Billie Hiers
Billie and Ludwick Hiers (460 just recently
located us. - Ben)
Good Sunday Afternoon, Ben.
What follows is from Billie for Lucky
Hiers, Sr. He's having a "puny" day, but you must know the wonderful
emotions your mail calls elicit as Lucky begins to remember people and details
that had been buried in his very busy mind. He will be "dictating"
information to you that you may share.
Lucky has a wonderful story that relates to
Sospel, but that is his story to tell...soon hopefully. We will look
forward to whatever pics Patricia and Roland (ORENGO) are able to share.
He also has a hand drawn map of a trip to Nancy, France that we will try to get
to you. He was, at that time, a jeep driver and did not want to get
lost.
Washington, DC
National June 27 - July
2, 2007
We have those dates marked down and will be
planning our life (visits to children and grandchildren) marked on the
calendar. You do know about the "best laid plans of mice and
men." We plan to be there.
It has been heartwarming to see the French
people's continued memory and appreciation for what all the WWII VETS did for
them. It is a picture of how individuals in ANY country should try to
separate PEOPLE from GOVERNMENTS. I've not heard any WWII vet say that
they are sorry to have been there just helping out.
Matt (ANDERSON) (ADT)
Ben: This is a wonderful idea and I know
Lucky would love to go ... and love to jump (if allowed by the ADT).
PLEASE LET MATT Anderson KNOW THAT WE WOULD
LIKE TO HAVE MORE INFO. After that ... we'll try to meet any deadlines
that Matt/ADT has in order to be a part of this. I'm not a Veteran so I,
at least, would take care of my fare. Even as I write I have to remind
myself that Lucky is already 84, but few people seem to realize it. He
recently acknowledged the decrease of his energy. I said to him "Well,
honey, you ARE 84." With no response from Lucky I also said: "You
didn't expect THIS did you?" Lucky told me "No, it really surprised
me."
