While we are honoring troopers at Col de Braus, we should
remember Art Riddler who was killed leading his G Co. platoon in taking Ridge
X. Without Ridge X, you do not have Col de Braus. Howard

As you know I always pay my dues plus some more at the Florida Mini.
As I keep hearing that we will be broke sending out about 1300 Thunderbolts I
mailed you a check for $100 today. Use it to pay my dues and use the
rest to help with the Thunderbolt expense.
I noticed in today's Mail Call that the 3rd Quarter Thunderbolt was mailed
so I am late again to express my opinion on how to solve this money
problem. I have been fussing about this for over a year with no results
unless there is something in the latest issue. I'll reserve my comments
until I read the great paper you put together. Really don't know how you
do it but thanks very much.
See you at the Mini,
Bob
As you are in touch with Leila and Donna on a regular basis please ask them
when the Banquet will be held. I assume it will be Thursday night on
January 25. I printed the application off of Mail Call but this
information was not included.
I don't have an E-mail address for Leila and Donna's company blocks all
personal messages.
As you know some of my kids always come to the Banquet but I have to give
them plenty of notice as they live all over the country and bless them they all
work. I also have to send Leila the $40 per person for their meals.

Darrell, It should be Wednesday night. That is when we usually have
it. I haven't been able to get in contact with you for quite a while. Hope this
goes thru. Bob It didn't go through!
Ben, I haven't been able to contact Darrell for quite a while and since I
don't know his phone number and Chris Lindner is off line, could you try for me?
Bob
