Bob: In that picture Mel Zais looks as though he has just been to the dentist and is full of novocaine (sp?). I hardly recognized him without a big, broad smile which he did not wear when things went wrong on Saturday morning inspection. Highest regards, Howard H.

Hi Scott,

I finally got around to publishing the oral history biography of your uncle, Erwin Scott. Please review it and let me know if you want any changes. Some of the photos are a little dark, from the xerox copies that you sent me. If you want to scan or send me any photos, I can update them. That's up to you.

Thanks for sharing this! Good stuff.

Bob Barrett

Hi,

I am Filip and live in Belgium, about 2 hours drive from Bastogne and I maintain and have built the 463rd PFA site.

I am looking for someone who can help me about the T.O. and equipment of a Parachute Field Artillery Battalion.

I'd like to know besides 4 Batteries and HQ Battery, which guns there were, which vehicles, and a bit about special sections,

as machine gun sections etc..

Any idea ?

Friendly regards, vriendelijke groeten, salutations amicales,

Tom Reber

I will be on temporary work assignment North of Atlanta for the next 4 weeks, to help out a struggling facility. While there (Pendergrass-Buford, GA), I will make a pilgrimage to Toccoa, to view the old 517th stomping grounds and Currahee. If allowed, I will take my bad knees up and down it, but surely at a much slower pace than you troopers did 60 some years ago.

Communicating with me could prove to be a challenge during this next month, but I hope to overcome those challenges.

I was interested to see the signed photo of General Zais. I have a signed photo of my father and the general at Zais' retirement, with Mickey Marks in attendance. It was the last 517th related event my father attended before he died (Dec. 1976).

Anyway, I hope people are in good health and in even better spirits.

Best regards,

Tom Reber
