Farewell Les Cohen - 148th Engineer
#1

Dear Marion:

 

My father had quite a bit of correspondence with you in 2005 regarding his Army unit and the building of the Remagen bridge.

 

I wanted to let you know that he died in October 2011. He was 93 and had lived a full life, but we all miss him very much.

 

I have attached the text of his obituary which appeared in the Raleigh News & Observer.

 

I hope you are well. My father appreciated so much the work you did to memorialize the work they did in WWII.

 

 

Barbara C. Freedman

 

 

And yet another friend is gone, but joins his band of engineer brothers. Not a good news week here...
