Ben, guess Bill will not be making it to
Kissimmee after all. I am still considering going but must clear it with the
kids. Bill has been having too many falls and a couple of other problems
and does not feel he can make it., he really wanted to.
Hope I can make it.

Ray Estrella,
Hello Ben, Ray Estrella here. From our family to
yours, and our extended 517 family our best best wishes to all for a safe,
happy, and healthy 2008 ! Ben, I need a big favor from you. My brother-in-law,
Ruben Duran, his wife Terry, along with my wife and I, have decided to finally
make a trip to Europe this year. Is the 517th planning to go to Europe this year
?, and if so, where can we get info/details, etc.? Thanks for any assistance
that you can render to us. Take care and God Bless.

Ben,
Please let Betty Travers know
that we are thinking about Myrle, and praying for his speedy recovery. He
is a great man, and what an experience he had when he was captured by the
Germans. Listening to his story just sent chills down my
spine. I am so grateful that I got to meet and know Myrle and Betty
at the last two reunion. They are a great couple. All of our
best.

June and Jim Royer
Ben, Our prayers are with Pat & Dan Smith
and members of their family.
We have had the honor and pleasure of meeting
them at various reunions.
What a wonderful couple. One can never be too
careful taking the
highways today.
We are sorry that we will
not be able to make the Fla. reunion due to
my health. We will miss it and
everyone very much.
Love to all,
Jim & June Royer

Thanks for the prompt reply Ben. Due to business and
scheduling conflicts, I am not sure that either Ruben or I could attend the St
Louis meeting. Ruben belongs to a time share group that has many hotels through
out Europe available to us. You could assist us by providing us with the
location of the wonderful 517 friends/supporters that you mentioned in your
e-mail reply. Once we know where they are located, we can reserve hotel rooms
close to them. Your generous offer of assistance is very much appreciated. Ruben
and I met yesterday to discuss preliminary plans for our upcoming trip. Our time
frame is August, 2008. Ben, In closing, wanted to let you know that Ruben and
I will be spending several days with you folks in Palm Springs this April.
Take care, look forward to hearing from you again.-Ray Estrella

on to become a Doctor in Texas. He passed away in June 1980.
