Ben, thanks for the info on Melvin.  You really do great things.  Thanks for asking about the Seitz Clan,  All are doing great and still brag about the Washington Reunion.  With profound admiration, airborne all the way! Dick Seitz

 I read with interest Frank Ramos's article in Mail Call #1414.  Since he was instrumental in getting Vice President Cheney to speak to us in Washington the thought crossed my mind that with his vast experience in Government he could help us with a keynote speaker for St. Louis.
 
While it would be helpful to some troopers to know how to obtain the awards they earned, I don't think this information would qualify as a keynote speaker.  Perhaps Frank could come up with some one half as good as VP Cheney.  Believe it or not most of us like to hear what the 517 did in the Big War.
 
The Chairperson, Chris Lindner, a valued member of the Auxiliary, is in charge of the St. Louis Reunion and would appreciate any thoughts as to finding a keynote speaker.  Please contact her with your suggestions.  Chris has been working on the Reunion for several months and has made great strides.  The Hotel and the Armed Forcers Reunions, Inc. have been booked.

Most of the address's that you received the Mail Damon on do not hold mail after they fill up.  Webtv is by far the worst.  Most of the messages I get back from Webtv say that person has 544 messages.  I just got back from the Mountains after two weeks and good old AOL saved 499 E-Mails.  Took me two days to go through them.  I'm sure you know this so keep trying to get through.  Many people don't realize they have this problem so they miss some good messages.
 
Regards,
 
Darrell
