Hello,
Do you plan on attending 2009 Reunion in Salt Lake
City .Please answer yes or no
.
At St. Louis reunion, we had no volunteers among
veterans to host the 2009 reunion and therefor,we gave the privilege to
the auxiliary which is fine, but causes thought about future reunions.The 2009
reunion must be a success or we may have to rely on Mini Reunions for
future gatherings which may be the way to go. Veterans are getting older and
health seems to deteriorate with age. Auxiliary members will not get
younger either. Airplane travel now days is like punishment. Maybe center of
country? St Louis or Kansas city? Your comments!

I hope and pray that we can encourage this young man
who is searching for information about his GREAT GRANDFATHER. He is a very
special young man, as was his great grandfather. There are so few youth
today who care. Who knows how far-reaching and inspiring the information
may be for this young man, his family and friends. -MC2628

Hello Ben, Peanie called my attention to the
Sospel pictures. She knew that I spent a short time at the near
top of the Mt. above Sospel before entering Sospel. She will edit it for
me. Anyway the switchback roads were familiar!
Peanie reads most of the mail
calls of interest to me.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS.
