Hello,
 
Received phone calls from Russ Miller and John Pastalenic today,
 
We will let all know when the 517th film is available.
 
This Mail Call contains many links to photos. Photos don't lie and can tell the story of our trip to Belgium and France better than I can.
 
 Please send links  when possible. It saves me for searching for the link and saves space on Mail Call.
 
 Donations for whatever program involving the 517th should be sent to our treasurer Leo Dean at 14 Stonehenge Lane, Albany 12203
 

 Please let me know if you want to receive Mail Calls or if you have a problem receiving them. You can always read back Mail Calls  by clicking on www.517prct.org/archives

I would like to keep receiving Mail Calls as History is of the utmost importance to me.  My husband and I own Park Place Restaurant at the entrance of Chickamauga Battlefield, the Nation's largest and oldest Military Park.  My name is Karen Adams Goodlet.  My Mother was Mary Frances Eidson, married to Layton Pippin.  What a love story and a tragedy.  I knew Layton's mother very well.  Although Layton was not my Father, I respected my mother's feelings for him.  My Father was Raymond Jeremiah Adams. Very well respected also. He served in World War II.  You can see why this is so important to me. Thank you for all you do
Sincerely,
Karen A. Goodlet

Manu a réalisé ce diorama sur la scène photographiée le 28 octobre 1944 quand les premiers soldats américains, aidés par Emile Laveder, sont entrés dans Sospel. Manu Dominguez made this diorama copied on the scene photographed October 28, 1944 when the first American soldiers, assisted by Emile Laveder, entered Sospel.
