This is exciting!
Harold Whiting, 157th Engineer, just sent this letter to me. Last week he had proposed being able to meet up with me when he arrived in town his reunion in Hershey, PA (right down the street, so to speak). He would be arriving on the 28th, the day I would be leaving. Well I wrote to him and said, maybe I could arrange to leave on Monday instead. Here was his reply today:
I have a plan, talked to my friend who is going to take me to the reunion we cannot check in to our hotel in Hershey Lodge untill 4 pm on sunday on the 28th, well let me run this by you for your excellent judgment. My friend an I leave N.H. Saturday around 3 am that will get us in lebanon pa about 3:30-4 pm sat. Now if we can sign up at your hotel the price is 45 a night then we stay there and visit and shoot the breeze with your fellow engineers, then later sunday we go to Hershey. If you wish to go and interview some of the 157 eng., My friend and i will take you there and then to the airport or train station. My little pea brain has been working this way we can spend a little time together, and tell a few tall tails. I am sure we will be talking again on the plan. I just put the 157th reunion in the Legion magazine hoping to get more people to see it and attend . The 157c eng bn will hold there 63 rd reunion at hershey lodge Hershey PA SEPT 28TH-30 ANY QUESTIONS CALL BARBRA NADIN TELE 717-872-8927
I showed my husband and he said, absolutely stay another day. So I wrote back to Harold and said, I'm game, let's go for it. So I will finally get to meet him after four years, and will also get to attend a day of their reunion. Isn't that magnificent? I am so thrilled. Harold, can't wait. A great time became even better.
