Hi, It's a rotten day when you hit the wrong buttons and loose incoming mail, backup mail in personal filing cabinet and several letters already in Mail Call NO. 27. I've had a rotten day. Lost mail from Merle McMorrow, Ed Flannery, Roy Herren and someone else. Fortunately I had downloaded important stuff from Merle and will start this Mail Call with his information. Ed Flannery helped me with Guy Welborn's email address . Roy Herren wrote to Boom Boom explaining about his condition and also inquired about the Battle of the Bulge poster. It is now out of print but will see if I can get copies made. May be a problem, copyright laws etc. Just talked to Ed Flannery on the phone. Expects a good turn out for the Florida reunion. I made my reservations today. Bob Reeves "H" Co. Called me yesterday and said he would go if if I did. I know that Dot and Andrew Lubick would also like to go. I am sending this Mail Call out tonight so that Merle's message and info about the Florida reunion can get out soon as possible and also before I foul up again. Ben

To: Ben517@aol.com How about signing up for our Florida Reunion. Spend a few days in Paradise with your buddies. it's a better location than Melbourne, warmer, lots of attractions, eating places, close to Disney World. The "cookie-man" will be there with his famous goodies. Clark Archer and company have a good time and good fellowship planned for all. See you there?
