Antimo P. Clemente - C
Hi There; We have five LIFE
TIME MEMBERS, and twenty-
eight EARLY BIRDS. Isn't that
great? Those of you who missed
by a hair, we're sorry, and hope
you'll be in there pitching next
year. We've got four signed in
for the big one in Florida al-
ready. They are the Clemente's;
the Garafalo's the Plautz's and
Don Seedborg. I know a lot
more of you are going but we
haven't got the word yet.
Don't forget the Holiday Inn
in Warsaw, Indiana. The com-
mittee for that has set up a fine
program for us. Don't let their
good work go to waste, get your
reservations in. I know Bob
Pannell will be there because
he told me. We are planning to
be there and so is Tom and
Joan Finley.
Dr. Wm. F. Zimmerman A
82nd passed away on May 9,
1985. Our belated Sympathy
goes to his wife Elizabeth.
Don Seedborg is back at home
and getting ready for the Reun-
ion. We will not tell you of his
travels, as it would not be first
hand info. Don will tell you and
probably show some pictures.
Anything we could tell you
would certainly portray to you
a warmed over version of the
Reunion in France. Don's por-
trayal can almost put you there,
so we'll let him do the honors.
Mike Peluso writes; Returned
from my expedition in Florida
the first week in April, with
many pictures. It was great
being away from the cold win-
ter weather. I did receive some
pictures when I returned home
and along with mine, will start
the album. My thanks to Ray
Fredickson. Received pictures
from Allen Stark and Albert
Pounds also that were taken
"way back when" which I'm
sure are priceless to those guys.
I'll keep a section of the album
for the oldies, however I could
use more pictures of the current
time frame. Take them along

We need help from some N.J.
members. A fellow wrote and
asked for help in finding a
Navy guy by name of John
Zeluga from N.J. Now we look-
ed in the Burlington County
and Camden County phone
books and can't find a John
Zeluga. Now, would someone
from some of the other Counties
check out John Zeluga in your
phone book and if found, kindly
send us the phone number. At
this point we'll take any Zeluga
phone number and work from
there. Thank you for any help
you can give.
Warm Regards,
Charlie

NEWS: Hq & Sv Troop: Ed
Brovic: "Things are just about
the same. I go to the hardware
store two days a week, the rest
of the week is taken up with my
church duties and hospital
duties. In between I'm always
attending some kind of parish
meeting. As most of my friends
know I live in an apartment
next to my church. Still have
my dog "Ace" who has a 100 x
100 foot lot to romp around in.
I'm at St. John the Baptist
Church, 15721 Emeral Ave., Har-
vey, Illinois 60426."
Merrill H. Kassy: "I note that
Edward W. Riccio has just join-
ed the association. I will drop
him a line. He was my radio
Officer." (Merrill - How is the
92nd's oldest teen ager doing?
The address you quoted is cor-
rect.)
A Troop: "Bud" Kalish: "A
few months ago, Toby and I
made reservations for the West-
ern at Sedona. Sedona is approx-
imately 250 miles north of Tuc-
son with Phoenix half way
between. This, when added to
Grand Parent Logic, means 125
miles closer to the grand child-
ren who live in the Bay area.
We drove to Phoenix, parked
our car at the airport and flew
to Oakland. It was cold and
damp while we were at Alamo.
I came down with a good cold
and Toby, who had twisted her
knee before leaving Tucson,
aggravated her condition.
We returned to Phoenix
after spending four days with the
family. Instead of going up to
Sedona, we drove back to Tuc-
son. I spent a week recuperat-
ing and Toby had her knee
operated on. She is still on
crutches making a slow recov-
ery. Sorry that we missed the
Western. With luck we will see
you in Orlando."
Ken Knorr: "On April 27th I
was getting off Route 81 at
Wilkes Barre, PA when this fel-
low blew his horn at me and
indicated that he wanted to talk
to me." He said: "I see that you
were in the 12th Armored." (I
have the 12th logo on the spare
tire of my van.) "I told him that
I was from A Troop and he told
me that he was Andy Kerestes
from Hq Troop and that he lived
in Wilkes Barre. He also told
me that he had just talked to
you at Stroudsburg the day
before. It's a small world some
