Ben,  We finally took care of the the citations and the first volume of the BLUE BOOK.  I sent them directly to Bob, Thanks. Heather
 
Note to Tom Reber - This weekend (Oct 13-15)  will be a reunion of the troopers who trained at Currahee.  There will be many veterans and also re-enactors and other great tributes.  Please join us - I will be there.    It would be great to have fellow 517th members or decedents.  .  Will be up there both nights.  The best show will be on Saturday.  Hope to meet you,
Heather Cowan Riley - daughter of Pvt. Ian Cowan - Co. B - 517th

Hello Ben,
 
 
Well...change of plans...now I am assigned to work near Columbus, OH and it may become permanent.  So much for the Currahee trip!  I will have the same communications challenges, but I will let you know later.  At least this assignment is only about 3.5 hours away versus 6.5 hours away.
 
I don't relish being surrounded by so many Buckeye fans, since I am a former Badger, but at least it is Big Ten territory, albeit hostile.  I will be working a start up operation from the ground up, on very little lead time.  Have patience with my response times, as I will be very busy for quite some time.
 
My best to all,
 
Tom Reber

Dear Ben,

 Hope all ok for you.

 I just went through the new pictures posted on the website, it is fantastic. So many were taken in Nice!!

 I permit myself to revert to you in order to solicit the attention of the association members regarding a binoculars case I found, which was used by Pvt. Charles P. Bole (HQ 3rd – attached to I Co.) – see pictures. Maybe someone remembers him / has information on him?

 Thanks in advance,

 

Frederic (Nice, Maritime Alps)
