Dad,

In case it helps anyone trying to locate friends, I have also taken Tom Reber's roster list and posted a second version, which is sorted by company.

PS: In the last MailCall, you had a typo, listing the website as www.617prct.org.

Time is flying by, but it just means that Jerrie and I won't make the reunion. Jerrie had a concusion, and two heart attacks the first of December. She is home, and getting a little better, but there isn't any way we will be able to make the reunion. We had looked forward to being with our friends, but at this point if Jerrie can continue to improve, we will be satisfied. Dallas Long

Ben,

            Mr. Alicki sent me information about his experiences at Pearl Harbor. The information was very very good, and I read Mr. Alicki’s comments to the students. They were very impressed that I actually had first hand information from a Pearl Harbor survivor. Thank You Mr. Alicki for your help, and thank you for making me look good in front of the students. You are the greatest!

Note to Aldo Mildenstein and Barney Hekkala, the editors of A Company. Don’t quit now. Keep in contact with those men of A Company. Collect the news and stories. Send them to Bob Christie via email as letters to the editor or however you choose. We will get them in the Thunderbolt. This will have several beneficial effects. You won’t have the trouble and expense of mailing and the rest of us will be able to keep up with A Company by reading the Thunderbolt.

Your type of news and stories are what we want to keep the Thunderbolt interesting. It has taken a while for Bob to get a new publisher and all the procedures established for printing and mailing. We will be up and running soon. So, hang in there and let us know what is going on with that outfit of yours. Other companies, please take note.

What happens is pretty interesting. It's also amazing how quickly it
computes!! Very cool. Send it on to all you think might like a bit of
trivia ---and can't remember what year they saw a certain movie!!
