The last mail call I received was #724 from July 13, I think. I am currently at my parent's house. I was reading (over my dad's shoulder, as he was reading his emails---MAIL CALL, of course---and saw that my address was included in a recent MAIL CALL as one of those "not mailable" addresses. So I checked my box---it's not full. I'm not sure what is wrong, but my email is listed in the MAIL CALL as: kreece@bellsouth.net. It should be khreece@bellsouth.net. Please check to see if my address is correct in your address book. I have been receiving MAIL CALL for many months with no problems at all, so I'm not sure what has happened. Thanks for sending out a notice and please get me back on the list. I will check the archives to read anything I may have missed. Thank you.
Best regards,

My email changed from
the one listed in your email. It is no longer tedcrawford@home.com but it is now tedcrawford@comcast.net

Ben,
What do I need to do to add pictures of 517 troopers
to the web site? Morris McDowell
************
Morris,
There are two ways to add photos to the web
site:
1. If you have a PC and a scanner, or know someone who does, you
could scan the photos and email them to me at webmaster@prct517.org. I can
read most formats.
2. Or, you could just put them in a protective
envelope and mail them to me at the address below. I can scan them myself
and get them back to you within a week.
