Hi, Ben -
 
Did I read this last Mail Call right?  You may have to stay packed in case of fires??!! 
 
I mean, I know you've been through worse, but jeeze, Ben!  You be careful!  The 517 has a serious investment in you!
 
I wrote to echo Pat Seitz and Alan Greer's sentiments about Lory Curtis's book.  Dad (Allan Johnson 596) and I kept passing it back and forth on the plane.  It is really a treat, and I'm thankful to Lory for putting it all together and sharing it, like the piece of history it is.  Really a wonderful time to meet both Lory and Tim as well.  I know they came without their dear dad Bud for the first time, and we all enjoyed seeing them.

Ben,
   Please extend our many thanks to Pat Seitz and Allan Greer for their very kind words.  They are wonderful people who made us feel so welcomed at the reunion.  And as her father would say " Airborne All the Way!"

Can you add a lady to Mail call.  Her husband
Jim Becker was in the 517th.  I had a phone
call yesterday from her daughter.  I sent
her an Odyssey.   helen.becker@cox.net
Hope I got that address right

Ben,  Welcome to CA.  I'm sure things are bad in spots, but we are doing OK here.   At least it is not as cold as Belgium 1944-45 or as hot as some of those fire fights.

Best airborne regards,  HH
