Ben,

Wanted to let everyone know, that today, February 25th, is Bob and Maxine Cooper's 50th wedding anniversary.  They were married on February 25th, 1955.  So please join me in wishing them a big "Happy Golden Anniversary!"

I saw Jesse Darden's letter and agree with the idea of a separate
fund to help foreign guests. Set it up and I will give.

Ben,

            Just saw that Matt Greene is moving to Sandy, Utah.  I just live across the freeway in West Jordan, Utah. If the Greene’s have any questions or need help in the area let me know.  There are about 10  517th troopers living in the northern Utah area.

THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO NEIL BLANTON SON OF WILLARD BLANTON , I RECALL YOUR FATHER QUITE WELL.  HE WAS NOT AVERY BIG GUY WITH DARK CURLY HAIR AND A BIT OF A SWAGGER. AS I RECALL HE WAS FROM OHIO SOMEWHERE AROUND STEUBENVILLE BUT I COULD BE WRONG ABOUT THAT.  I THINK HE WAS IN A COMPANY AND A GOOD TROOPER.  I WAS IN B COMPANY AND WAS WITH THE UNIT FROM TOCCOA TO THE BULGE.
