Hi All:
 
It has been brought to my attention that there are a few people that are having trouble with registering for the St. Louis reunion.  I have been in contact with Donna for the Armed Forces regarding this matter.
 
If anyone needs any help please contact me, Chris Lindner at ctennis@sbcglobal.net or by phone 210-478-1607
 
Donna from the Armed Forces said that the registrations are coming in very slow. 
 
THE REUNION IS IN 1 AND 1/2 MONTHS AWAY AND I HOPE EVERYONE THAT IS PLANNING TO ATTEND WILL SEND IN THERE REGISTRATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
 
It is going to be a fun reunion and we need as many people as possible to make it a great reunion.
 
THANK YOU !!!!!
 
Chris Lindner

The Wife & I have moved to Cedar Park, TX.  Left Oklahoma and our Friends.  But we are close to my daugher, Kristie & her family of husband & 5 children. Will not make the St. Louise reunion, but planning on the Kissdimmee, FL reunion in January, 2009.
We are living in a place known as "The Ranch", which is a senior independent living apartments.. Hope all you 517thers are doing good.  I hate to read the mail calls because of those who have passed away.  But we are doing fine.

The date of birth, date of death, the home town, unit, company etc. also a picture in uniform, and one near the time of death. address, Send to my address, garandaddy@comcast.net.
