Dear Ben, Tom, et al:
I am just fine and have been evaluated and accepted for long time care at the VA facility in Menlo Park near the SCI Hospital in Palo Alto. This will be my permanent home and when I get the permanent address I will be back in touch. A nice lady just came by and told me I would be in room C-108, Building 331.
God bless all of you and God bless the VA. They are taking good care of me.
Love to all, Howard Hensleigh
Elaine, Thanks for the photo.
I just posted it at
http://www.517prct.org/photos/robert_magnuson_h_co/robert_magnuson.htm You mentioned that there is a passenger list of the
517th arrival. I haven’t
seen that. How do I get a
copy? Thanks, Bob
Barrett Hello, My uncle Robert Magnuson was in H Company. I'm not
sure what became of him and have been searching for several years, including
checking your site. Each time I visit my mother I find a
few more things that belonged to Uncle Bob. Although there are quite a few
photos I only recently found one where he identified other people in the photo -
attached, signed on the back as: L to R Sgt Copeland Me (Robert Magnuson) PFC Hughes Piera Cava Sept 1944 Looking at the 1944 Christmas directory ( H Co) I assume
they are Sgt Richard M Copeland and PFC Howard Hughes. Perhaps
someone checking your site would be interested in this photo.
Neither name appears on the Ancestry.com scan of the passenger list of the 517th
arrival in NYC in August of 1945. But perhaps they went on to other
postings. I have some others I'll scan and send to you later as
they are quite clear. I would assume the soldiers to be H
Company. I'll go through the box of his things and send you a
list of what you may like to post on the site - I know you already have the
Christmas directory and the July 44 memorial program. It also seems
he should be on the Bronze Star list, but between his soldier's qualification
card and Enlisted record and Report of Separation I'm not sure how to
confirm. Do you have a way to confirm before you list
someone? Thank you, Elaine
Bob Barrett

Looking to contact Darrell Hickman he is a nephew of Wayne Jackson
who
served with the 517th. He has a picture with the following list of
guys
on it. My grandfather was Gerald W. Larson. Hoping one of
the guys
listed is around and may remember him. (W. Shaddox, Mervyn L
Filippone,
Gerald L. Larsen and James H. North.) An E.P. Johnson, is in the
