Hello,
I hope to add to Mail Call newspaper headlines and news from many papers
that were published during our War Years. The children and
grandchildren have never seen this news and the veterans were too busy making
history and the only paper available to them was "Stars and Stripes"
which you might be able to read while in a rest area or in the hospital.
Please let me know if you can receive them in readable form. You
should be able resize the print to make it clearer. The headlines tell the
jist of the story.
We will try to refine this endeavor as we proceed.
Sign up today for National Reunion. Only 38
days until we will be in St, Louis.
Please try to send in donations
to Keep the 517 PRCT Association viable. Suggested amount $30.00 to
include Thunderbolt. Auxiliary members $20.00 Plus $10.00 if you
want to receive the Thunderbolt. Send donations to
Leo Dean, 14 Stonehenge Lane, Albany, NY 12203. Make checks
payable to 517prct. Donations for the Auxiliary should be sent to
Karen Frice Wallace 66295 Highway 20 Bend, OR
97701. Try to make August 15 as the deadline date so that we
wont forget to make annual contributions.

Have my airline ticket, my Hotel
accomodations and my registration all completed. I hope I am not the only
one there from Co. F. I have talked to a few of the wives but I don't know how
successful I have been. This is a new adventure for me without Walt but one I
promised him I would make.
See you in St. Louis--Marie
