Hi Michael
Thanks for your plug regarding the SLC Reunion in the last Mail Call.
I'll be there. Lory, Debra and you are doing a terrific job putting this
Reunion together. I'm looking for a great turn out as we have so
much going on right now. The following programs are in the planning
stages. Pins for the trip to Europe and your Reunion. Plaques
for the villages in Europe that we liberated. Applying for a grant to help
with our Movie Project and on and on. On a side note the donations for the
Movie project are really coming in just fine. Thanks to all that made
contributions.
I will attend the Palm Springs Reunion (they like to call this a party) and
needless to say I will be talking about the National Reunion. Helen &
Hal Beddow who put on the Savannah Reunion and the girl that puts the
Thunderbolt togeather will also be there. And as always Ben Barrett
and Leo Dean. Leo and Hal plan to make a jump at Paris (sp?) air
field.
Just to reinforce Mr Wells plea please plan your vacations to SLC
Reunion. It will be one you should not miss. Lory, Debra and Michael
have really working to the best. See you there.

I just had a phone call from Ann Pugh who has a question
she hopes that someone can answer. Christine Lahti is a movie star who has
won several awards. Ann's husband, Charlie (now deceased) mentioned one
time that he thought that her father was a doctor who was a paratrooper.
Subsequently, he was in charge of an amputation center somewhere in South
America. If anyone has any knowledge of Dr. Lahti Ann would be most
appreciative. He may not have been a physician in WWII. Many
thanks for any information--Edith Miller

Note to Karen Carpenter: Before you have your VA hearing, make sure
you are represented by a good service organization such as the DAV, the American
Legion, or such. If you do not win at the hearing level, appeal to the
court in Washington. It sounds as though you have been given a raw
deal. Howard Hensleigh

Here is the Spring 1997 issue of Wings;
...and the article that includes a full
index of the issues that have been scanned to date;
Included is a write-up by Brooks "Jim" Moses about his
return to Europe in 1996 with his lifelong buddies from the
596, George Mitchell and Joe Senter.
Enjoy!

World War II History
1941 -

Germany’s invasion of the Balkans.
1945 - Yugoslav partisan
leader Josip "Tito" Broz signed an agreement permitting "temporary entry
of Soviet troops into Yugoslav territory."
Random World War II Quote
"Before us stands the last problem which must be solved
and will be solved. It is the last territorial claim which I have to
make in Europe, but it is the claim from which I shall not
recede."
- Adolf Hitler, about storming Prague,
1939.
