Welcome Mari. I have enjoyed our exchange of emails over the last week. Pleased as punch that you are here!

 

A big thank you to Colonel Mike Morgan, editor of Army Engineer Magazine, for introducing us. We engineer kids gotta stick together! :pdt34::pdt12:

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Here's a photo that Mari sent me:

 

"Here's a photo, one of my faves, of my dad (holding the bucket) & the 297th boys in Germany. I love this shot (it's on my living room wall) because it shows the 'kids' behind the 'soldiers'."</span>

" And, I had to send you one of me, since I am such a clone of my Dad. Is there a shot of you on the site? Do you look like Walter? That's me, Mom Dad & my surrogate daughter, Julie, at Dad's Reunion, D-Day, last year."
