Ben,
I thought I would let you know that Myrle is back
in the hospital again. This time the doctors say that his kidneys are in
bad shape and he was critically low on magnesium. When I visited him
yesterday he was looking much better. I will keep you posted on his
progress.

Dear Ben: Alan and I so appreciate the pictures that Irma
sent. God bless Maria, Irma and Arnold for all that they
do.
We have been blessed to visit the church
and stand by the memorial in the church yard. Thus, to see these pictures,
especially with the Christmas decorations, on one hand paints a contrast to
Christmas time in Dec.1944-Jan. '45, and at the same time fills our hearts
with the warmth of love and great pride for our 517th heroes as well as a deep
sense of indebtedness to the citizens of Belgium for their devoted
commitment to remembering the sacrifices that enabled Christmas to be celebrated
with the spirit and warmth as shown in these pictures.
Sincerely, Pat Seitz and Alan
Greer

an auto accident )
Dear Ben,
Yes, that would be fine. My father was driving and went
through a green light and was hit by a 22 year old driver who went through a red
light. My parents' car was T-boned on the driver's side
backseat. The car flipped upside down and then landed right side up
two lanes over diagonally across the street. It is a miracle they
survived and that their car did not hit another car. It is a miracle my
parents survived. Thank you for your concern.
Sincerely,
Libby Lenseigne

Hello Ben, this is a swell site that provides a way to show your
gratitude to our troops without discomfort for them as sometimes is the case. I
invite you to "Watch the Movie" and the other informative information selected
on the left panel.
Wishing you and the 517th PRCT organization a Healthy, Prosperous
and Happy New Year.
