Box 528 - Aberdeen, Mississippi 39730 Phone (662) 369-4395 Just a short up-date on my condition before the Snowbird Reunion. By the way, 14 people have told me, either verbally or in Christmas Cards that they would try to be at the Reunion. On January 11 I received my 8th treatment. Normally I would have a C-Scan before the Snowbird Reunion, but my doctor said although he expected a good report, he would wait until I return· from the Reunion, just in case. So now I will receive my C-Scan on February 7. Bob Molsberry called and advised us that he and Stelle would attend the Snowbird Reunion. He said all arrangements had been taken care of. We haven't seen them since the pittsburgh Reunion.

I have always wanted to attend a Snowbird Reunion, but being a widow I never had the courage to attend. Then I read in the January Poopsheet that Mrs. Ralph (Petra) Casas, a widow, will attend this year's Reunion. That gave me the courage I needed. I too plan to attend this year's Snowbird Reunion.

I truly wanted to see Alfred Simmons at this Reunion. EDITOR'S NOTE: At the "Snowbird Reunion" Lou asked me if there was any way I could make him a copy of the 4 foot long 3rd Battalion 502nd picture, which he knew I had. I found someone who could do it, but the 4 foot picture had to be reproduced in 3 pieces. I am happy to send a copy of this picture to Lou. I have my picture hanging in a frame specially made for this 4 foot X 9 inch picture. A LATTER LETTER FROM JIM and MABEL HOWELL: It was certainly good to see everyone again at the "Snowbird Reunion". wish it could occur more often. I had my evaluation last week and it showed improvement. I started a new series of Chemo the same day. This series is once a month instead once every 23 days. Enclosed are some photos taken at the "Snowbird." BOB and STELLE MOLSBERRY - 10368 Glenwood Pines Ct. - Grass Valley, Calif. Phone (530) 273-1698 95945 Even though I was -{eeling--"punk" while at the--"'Snowbird"-I·had a good time, and it was worth the trip to see all of those Company I people. Bob had a really good time and every time he came up to our room to see how I was doing, he was so excited to see everyone downstairs I would encourage him to go back down. Seeing his pleasure in seeing everyone, - that alone was worth the trip. Many of you Company I men do not look or act your age. We thought the Banquet was terrific, and good food for such a large crowd. Most everyone were gone Sunday, a few in the lobby waiting for the Shuttle, we had the chance to meet and talk once more. Bob had a good report on his P.S.A. level. He sees his Neurologist Tuesday; a fellow golfer, so I think they discuss golf more than Parkinson's disease. A donation is enclosed for the Poopsheet, - you have really put out some terrific ones, and I know it costs to do it. To you and Marie and all Company I families, Bob and I send the thought, live "La Dolce vita"! A LATTER LETTER FROM MRS. RALPH (PETRA) CASAS: Wi11 you please send me a Company I Roster. I received pictures taken at the "Snowbird" from Jim and Mabel How·ell, it is so nice of them to send them. -While at the Reunion I spent so much time visiting all the MalLs with the girls that I missed a big part of the Reunion activities. I wanted so much to see and talk with Lou Dunch but I missed seeing him. Lou was one of Ralph's good buddies. PAT and TERESA CALLERY - 629 Park Ave. - W. Hempstead, New York 11552 Phone (516) 486-7439 Enclosed is a donation to help with Poopsheet expenses. Keep them coming we really appreciate everyone of them.

The Florida Sunshine State Chapter of the 101st puts on a 3 day Reunion hard to top. It is always on the first part of February and it is very inexpensive, and it gives us Northerners a taste of summer in the middle of winter. The Hospitality Rooms at this gathering were well stocked with food and drink from beginning to end, and on Saturday evening we had a prime beef dinner. This is my typ~ of Reunion, :mostly visiting and sharing and laughing in a well stocked continuous Hospitality Room. Company I people in attendance at this '''SnowbirdReunion" were: Charles and Marilyn Olson - James S. Norris - John Altomare - Joe and June Hennessey - Earl Kelly - Ward Faulkenberry - Harry and Joanie Nivens - Bob Hartzell - Fred an Dolores Kraus - Celso and Mary Garcia - Jim and Mabel Howell - Alphonse Felderhoff - Mrs. Ralph (Petra) Casas and daughter - Walter and Kay Murdock - Pat and Teresa Callery - Ivan and Ann Hershner - Louis Dunch - Mrs. Nelson (Lonny) Stephens - Bob and Stelle Molsberry - Warren Shook - Bob and Alicia Tripp - Ray and June Dunlap. Sadly for those of us who were looking forward to seeing him, Alfred Simmons had to cancel out of this Reunion due to family problems. "Get Well Cards" were signed by all present, with individual notes, and mailed to Richard Stephens, one of our regular attendees, who because of illness was unable to attend this Reunion. And at this Reunion Bob Molsberry gave me news items pertinent to Company I taken from the 502nd newspap.er- "The Screamer" printed June 6, 1945. Mrs. Nelson (Lonny) Stephens) gave me a Boston area newspaper printed June 5, 1994, honoring the 50th D-Day anniversary, which included Nelson's account of his D-Day actions. Bob Tripp gave me several pictures of wartime Company I people. These gifts will be shared with you in our Poopsheet.
