Hello,
Just
hit wrong key and lost some info.
Check out the Dropzone website on
paratrooper links. Click on Community and
you will see the 517th decal
displayed which is a link to our website.
I will send this Mail Call
out now so that you will have information about
the operation Roy Herren is
having tomorrow and you can keep in your prayers.
Ben

Hi,
I am Allan Johnson's daughter, Claire
Giblin.
Just got an e-mail advising that this e-mail has a daily (or
every other day
or so) mail call that will apprise us of Charley's
status. If you'd add this
address to the list, Dad would appreciate
it.
We are so sorry to hear that Charley isn't well and will keep him in
our
thoughts and prayers.
Thank you -
Claire

I read Dot's e-mail about airlines into Bismarck.
In addition to Northwest,
United comes in here by way of Denver.
In regard to reunion sites, the biggest problem with reunions is finding
someone who is willing to sponsor and handle all the arrangements required
to
stage such an event. A yearly reunion was discussed years ago and
the idea
discarded in favor of mini-reunions.
As the years go on
there will continue to be fewer and fewer attending
because of ill health or
death. Charley Pugh was the first one to register
for the Bismarck
reunion and his passing indicates how uncertain things can
be.
I am
waiting for someone to come forward and indicate they would like to
sponsor
a reunion and have it considered at the May 2001 reunion.

I must repeat Tom Cross' regrets over the news on
Charlie
Pugh. I would add that we pray especially for his wife and
family too.

That is
the cheapest airfare even with the extra hotel and food. I've
already
priced it that way and that is the way we will go..........Fly in on
Monday
and leave on Sunday. Even flying in on Monday is cheaper that flying
to reunion on Sunday.....Maybe you could tell people in Mail Call about
checking all the days for those who haven't gotten airline tickets
yet.........Dot

Ben,
We see you got back safely from CA. It is so
sad to hear of Charlie Pugh We
had such a nice meeting with him at the
Florida mini and he was so enthused
about the 517th. When we heard he was
sick we sent a get well card to him
only to find he will not get well. Now
we will have to follow up with a
sympathy card.
About Bismarck, did I
tell you by staying over Sat. night I cut our fare with
Northwest in half?
We even save by staying the extra night at the motel. We
get the senior rate
but I think from what the gal from Northwest told me that
anyone would save.
Lucky I talked to a reservation gal who suggested this to
me.
Enjoy your
letters, keep up the good work. See you in Bismarck. (hopefully).

From: ROYHERREN
To: Ben517
This is a removal of Atherosclerotic Plaque from the
inner wall of an
artery by operation on ether side of the neck My problem is
on the left side
of my neck. They have to clamp it off and that could cause
a 5% chance of a
stroke. as it shuts off the blood to the brain on that
side.
I am having it done Friday at the Manatee Hospital, Bradenton, FL.
It is short notice to us as it is 95%+blocked Am I nervous--You bet I, AM.
Wish me luck. Neurosurgeon is Dr. TIESI from Bradenton

Hi Folks--Just a quick note. There seems to a lot of
HOAX's going around,
some of them are very malisious, but most only want to
generate e-mail
address'. two that are now circulating are 1) The 5 cent
postage threat from
the U.S.Post.Office The other 2) Brazilian Rain Forest,
this sounds loke a
great idea nd I started to do all that was asked--but it
sounded too much so
I did some checking--first there was no e-mail address
to send the results
to, it is a phoney and second i looked in the Hoax web
site and was told it
wasn't legit. you might check these others ou
at
mailto:brain@headinjury.com
or just type in
hoax on the top line Bests carlos
