Hi Marion,

 Hope all is well with you and yours.  Fine here 130 miles north of the nasty volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.  Supposed to receive a lot of the fumes (VUG) from the eruption on Maui tomorrow.  Will close the house and turn on the A/C.

 Shortly before the end of the war in Europe  the 1204th EFFP moved south towards Munich.  We crossed the Danube River on a pontoon bridge as the fixed autobahn bridge was destroyed by the retreating enemy.  Have you seen or know of a picture of that pontoon bridge.  Can't find one and my memory of it is a bit thin.

 Thanks for anything you know of.

 Aloha from Maui,

Jim
