Don is ill. He has bladder cancer. I found out by
accident. As you know Don does not say much
about  himself nor complain. I ask that we pray for
his recovery. Thanks.

This one is impossible to believe.   Scroll down for the text.    If there is one thing you forward today.....let it be this.



REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of PanAm Flight 103!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the military barracks in Saudi Arabia!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the American Embassies in Africa!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001!

REMEMBER all the AMERICAN lives that were lost in those vicious MUSLIM attacks!

Now the United States Postal Service REMEMBERS and HONORS the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a commemorative first class holiday postage stamp.

REMEMBER to adamantly and vocally BOYCOTT this stamp when purchasing your stamps at the post office. To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors.

REMEMBER to pass this along to every patriotic AMERICAN you know

I am probably half-way done with the 13th airborne book.  But with a little effort, I can finish that relatively soon.  I am way behind in all the little things (items and photos collected at or after the reunion), and more-so on the big things (e.g. the Odyssey book will take a while).  So I need to prioritize things.  I will wrap up the 13th Airborne book first, then I am almost done with Cecil Doty's stuff that I want to return to him (including that Chronicle document).

I will try to get a little more time into this soon.  I has been a busy couple of weekends, and when Brianne is home, I cannot get onto the computer with the scanner.  I will move the scanner to my computer and see if that helps.  As you know, scanning each page does take some time, so I need to have it in a convenient location so that I can keep an eye on it when I am doing other things.

Anyway, I'll keep you posted.  Next time I drop by we should go over the "to do" list and check the priorities.

Bob

Subj: Phone Call 
Date: 7/7/2003 6:08:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From: Dallasandjerrie

Ben:
Help!  Someone who identified himself as Steve called and asked to speak to Dallas.He stated that he had just gotten back from Okla. City, and we lost connection.  I didn't have a last name to return his call, so Steve, if you see this either e-mail Dallas @ dallasandjerrie@aol.com, or call.  Sorry.  It isn't always easy to be the secretary of the Long household.  Thanks Ben.  Again I don't know what we would do without you.  Jerrie
                                                  *********
Right now I can not recall someone named Steve and so if anyone knows Steve who was at the reunion , please contact Jerrie.-Ben
