Jack Castiglione (I Co. and S-2 Section) made it through his esophagus operation at the Wilmington Delaware VA Hospital. He will have a rough recuperation and Rehab session of several weeks, but Betty believes (as we all do) that Jack is up to it. The operation was a tricky one. The first hurdle is to make it out of the operation room and Jack did that. Your prayers and good wishes will be appreciated by Jack and his supportive family. Howard Hensleigh

Ben,

            I need help from the men of the 517^th.  As some of you know I am a Vice Principal of a high school.  I am also retired from the Army and served in Hawaii with the 25^th Division in the 1980’s.   On Monday and Tuesday of this coming week I will be giving the history classes here at school a presentation about the attack on Pearl Harbor. I want the kids to remember about Pearl Harbor.   Let me say how grateful I was last year to Mr. Alicki’s response to my request and his account of the attack because he was there.  The students were very impressed that I had first hand information about the attack from Mr. Alicki.   If Mr. Alicki can provide me with information again, I would be deeply grateful.  Also please any comments from the other troopers, friends or family members would be greatly appreciated.  I will tell the students what you think or say.  Thank you so much for your support. 

 Lory Curtis, son of Bud Curtis, HQ, 1^st Bn.
