Hi Ben ---
One good way to find out what hoaxes or viruses are out there and pretty up to
date too, is to get on:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html
When printed out it
makes about 2 1/2 pages.

Ben;
Norton's Anti Virus is
Cheap at $49.00 but you usually get a discount it is good for a year and if you
register your purchase they send updates directly to your computer ever so
often. I lost all my records in June to a magistr virus because I didn't
know that my anti virus had expired. Luckily my Gateway was still in warranty
had to take to them to reinstall my hard drive didn't cost me but they had my
computer for 15 days. Trying to fix it with Tech support messed it up so bad it
had to be reinstalled.
Hope this helps so some of
the guys will be sure to have an Anti Virus program installed.
Bob

In mail call 380 Gene
Brissey has done a terrific job in describing one of
the most importat and
successful operatios of the 517 in Southern
France, the capture of La
Roquette. La Roquette was situated
on dominating terrain over looking
the wide flowing Var river where the
Germans had intended to make their final
stand in the South of France.
By capturing the city and the dominating
terrain around the town the
Germans were forced to withdraw many miles to the
East to a position at
Sospel. Bob Newberry, Gene and all the other
great troopers of E Company
did a brilliant job in capturring a very
important objective and
capturing a couple hundred German and
sustaining only a few E company
casualties. A big well done to Gene and
all the troopers of Company E.

Why does everyone in Co E remember the lost baseplate that Gene talked
about. Well I was the one that dropped it. I slipprd on a rock in
the river and as I went down dropped the baseplate to save myself. When we
set up the morter after the crossing we used a large flat rock. Thank
goodness we did not have to use it that day. I was given a new baseplate
almost immediately and told not to drop it......
