Good one Erwin!!

Marion, wine and DVD's at your store? This sounds like one stop shopping for a weekend. If you were down south, you would also carry bait, like the video store near my friends house in Tenn had.
We actually have people up here who ask why we don't sell bait in our store! No thanks. I leave that to my friend Mark who runs Dean's Bait and Tackle about a mile away... I don't want worms in the same place where I sell milk, cheese and bologna! Ewwww!!! Pass the wine would ya!
Erwin, with the snow in my yard, I might not even notice a very tall snow hare....until spring.
Marion, would you prefer the cherry wine from Tennessee, the rhubarb wine from Vermont, the blueberry wine from parts unknown, or the infamous Tears of Gettysburg from a vineyard near the Gettysburg Battlefield....? So many choices, so many guests to terrorize. I do have a sauterne in the basement that my brother bought as part of a case because it was bottled the year of my birth. Frankly I'm suprised that they were using glass for the bottles instead of the pottery used in other ancient wines....
I realize this thread is a few years old, but here's what I have - a photo from camp Top Hat of some of the 1251st. My late cousin, Veto Fontana, was in the 1251st. He has the arrow pointing at him in the photo. I understand he was posted at Hitler's Eagle's Nest for some duration of time.

Dear Ken:
So glad to see this old thread, brought back to life.
Love the pics. He looked like a really pleasant and happy fellow.
I look forward to talking about him and maybe seeing more photos if you have them. Thanks!!!
What great pictures!! The first person from the 1251st that I spoke with was from your Uncles company.
Did he ever speak about what they did while there?
