Dear Ben:  I agree with Claire, if anyone can figure out how to get around aol's bureaucracy, you'll do it -- you are an amazing problem solver!  Perhaps we can petition AOL, but in this non-human world of Internet, I'm not sure how to persuade a non-thinking computer.  Pat
PS  Dad sends his greetings.

We are now on a delay function. AOL is not at fault in this instance since mail delivery is handled by another affiliation.  A petition may be a last resort  - Ben

Dear Ben:  Two things: 
       First, Congrats to Leo, on jump No. 117.  Looks like he is keeping the ladies charmed!  Such proof-positive that if you have "it" flaunt it!  Airborne all the Way, Leo and thank you for your lovely letter.  
       Second, Ben you are amazing the way you keep Mail Call coming.  Claire and I knew you could work magic on AOL and you sure did.  Thank you. You are outstanding!
       Dad sends you and Leo his regards and admiration.  
   Pat

Would you like to hear regularly from other members of the 517th?

Ben Barrett has organized an email-based mailing list for 517th members and families and friends who are interested in hearing regular updates from other 517th members. These "Mail Calls" are sent out periodically, generally about once or twice per week, as news is received. Each Mail Call message includes a collection of other notes received from those on the mailing lists. Notes are mostly just news about personal events or items that may be of interest to others. Nothing fancy, just a way to keep in touch.

If you would like to be added to the Mail Call list and receive these mailings, just send a note to Ben Barrett at mailcall@517prct.org. Include your email address, as well as any personal news that you would like to share with the others.


Note that the WACs on the left are sorting mail for Units 504-598.
There is probably plenty of mail for the 517th soldiers in this picture.
