    3. Good to hear from you and thanks to setting me straight on Loretta, rather than Margaret. For some reason I have no memory of her going to school with us. Am I wrong on this point? I remember her as a great looking and extremely nice red head. I guess the old memory just "ain't what it used to be." At some point in time I mentioned to Ken Laver, that I had a picture of you on your 79th birthday. Last week he asked me if I could send him a copy of that picture so he could see how Lavera has held up over the years. I sent him a copy and told him that I thought you had held up pretty damned good. A couple of weeks ago I was stunned to have an old WWII buddy come and visit me for the day. He lives in Tulsa Oklahoma. We were in the Cavalry at Fort Riley at the same time but not in the same company although we knew each other. We were sent to Fort Ord together and when we reached the Philippine Islands we were both assigned to the 34 member Recon Platoon, 11th Airborne Division as certified parachutists. We took our jump training in New Guinea. We went through the Philippine campaign, then on to Okinawa and then Japan. When I became 1st Sgt, I made Crussel my Sgt. in charge of the motor pool. We had a glorious get together. Neither of us recognized the other when we met at the airport. It is a great wonder how 60 years makes a difference in how one looks. Peculiarly, I have kept in touch with 4 close friends from that experience and only one other has visited me. The other two are now deceased. I went to visit one fellow and he died just the week before we arrived. I g! uess that it had been at least 63 years since you and I have visited face to face. Thank God for the Internet. Ron
