Dang it, two of my buddies have passed now within a few weeks of each other. Dang, dang, dang!!! I do not like this at all.

I was finishing my VI Corps Newsletter (the one that goes out just to the vets and their families of the 36th, 39th and 540th). I emailed two of my buddies tonight from the 36th and 39th to find out if there were any other inclusions for the Get Well and the Sad Farewells pages.

I just heard back from David and Selma Wagner, and they sadly informed me that Paul Knudson passed away the first week of June. It hit me like a rock.

I have a page for Paul on my site:

Paul and his wife Alice sent me frequent letters and info. I had just received a letter from them in April regarding the reunion info. Paul and Alice have been the secretary and treasurer of the reunions since 1988. In fact, they were to be this year's hosts.

Sadly now I have to add his name to the list and also remove his info from the reunion announcement before I mail them out this week. I need a hug.

07-29-06 Alice sent me Paul's obit, which I added to his page this morning.
