Just received a phone call from David Wagner of the 39th Engineers. They had their last reunion in 2007 and he wanted to know where the 36th and 540th were going to meet this year. Wouldn't that be wonderful if he could make it too. Then we would have representatives from THREE engineer units all together in one place. David, I hope you and Selma can make it. Would finally be able to meet you in person.
