Hello everyone,

We are hoping to see a lot of people at the Savannah reunion.  Hal and I have a revised schedule of events that I will send for the next mail call.  We have been attending to a lot of details, and I have to tell you that this is FUN!!  What a wonderful event to be hosting!

The City of Savannah is laid out in a series of squares, with homes and small businesses built around these squares.  The beautiful flowers and the Spanish Moss hanging from the trees really give you a sense of the beauty of Savannah.

The DeSoto Hilton Hotel sits right in the middle of the Historic District and along side  Madison Square.  I can already see some of you paratroopers sitting at the Six Pence Pub (which is across the street and two doors down from the hotel) telling war stories.  The Gryphon Tea Room is just across the square from the DeSoto, and it is a wonderful luncheon place for the ladies, however, you certainly see a lot of gentlemen in there, too.!  Wonderful food.   Also just a few doors down from the DeSoto is the Soho Cafe......the food is fantastic.  It also has an art gallery, antique books and art works made by students of Savannah College of Art and Design.  This also has very good food.  These are just a few of the galleries and eating places within walking distance of the hotel.  You will love Savannah!!    

We have a lot of things planned for everyone.  We realize that many will want to just visit in the hospitality room, but a lot of you may want to be "doing and seeing" things in Savannah, and that too, will be available. 

So.........think Savannah, August 15 - 19, 2005!!

More information will be coming to you.

God willing I will be attending both reunions in Kissimmee and Savannah as they are merely a few hours away from our home. I like the new bold print, it improves my eyesight. Hope to see Art and Ann McAvoy at one of these, her knees should be okay by then.  Thanks so very much for Mail Call.

Dear Ben,
 Parts of your mail call are blue-green and hard for me to read.
But some are in black
 which is easy. To early for me to forecast.

Sometimes mail is sent to me in color print,--Ben

An excellent idea.  At times, I have to use a magnifier to read the small print.  "Ah youth how I adore thee & old age how i abhor thee."

About the Author

Marian's first book "Twenty Remarkable Women Seen through Their Handwriting" will  be published in the near future.

Marian and her husband, Bill, retired in Little River, California in 1997.  With Marian's expertise as a Master Graphoanalyst and Document Examiner and Bill's love  of  history they combined forces to write "Twenty Remarkable Women Seen through Their Handwriting." 

It has been an exciting seven years, getting to know about these fascinating women who have such a variety of talents.  The reader will look into their lives through history and in a unique perspective as we examine their handwriting.  There will be such women as Eleanor Roosevelt, Queen Victoria, Evita Peron, Georgia O'Keeffe and Hellen Keller, to name a few.
 
Marian is the wife of Bill Brannan "A" Co.

Hi Ben, Thanks for your letter.  I see you are getting my e-mails, but we are
still not getting Mail Call!! You do have the correct e-mail address for me.
mattdeo@g2a.net  I can't understand why all of a sudden it stopped coming.  We
just got back from a 3 week trip to Sandy, Utah where our oldest son & family
live.  Tomorrow I will call our provider & check with them about our mail.
We do have a new home address though.  We moved  to a bigger apt.   still in the
same town.
2413 Charlotte Ct.  Apt 7 Antigo, Wi. 54409  Phone no. 715-623-5976
Thanks again for writing. Matt Greene G co.
P.S. I will let you know if we start getting Mail Call.

Ben:    Thanks so much for the new print.    It is so much easier on the eyes.   And thank you for all you've been doing.    You are really great.    I'm sure everyone appreciates all you do in putting out Mail Call all the time.

Sincerely, Virginia Jorgen   (widow of Andy Jorgen, E-company)

Hi there, Ben -

 
Like the new format!  And yes, Dad (Allan Johnson, 596) and I are planning on Kissimmee in January.  I just spoke to Leo Dean (HQ?), and he is planning on going to the wind tunnel at Orlando again, so I know he's planning on the reunion as well.
 
I also know that Dad is planning on Savannah in August 2005, and we really want to get a contingent together to go back to Le Muy in 2006.  We so enjoyed our visit, and cannot wait to have other troopers and their families experience the hospitality and welcome of the people of southern France.  Now that we've been and know the lay of the land, so to speak, there'll be no stopping us.
 
Hope all is well with you and my dear Miss Fran - thank you for all you do -
 
See you in Kissimmee -
Claire Johnson Giblin

very nice to read them again. Thanks much for all your work in sending them
out to everyone!! You do a great job. Matt Greene G. Co.
