different people. She is going
to send copies to D'Angelo,
Gangi and Bob Brooks. She
says that she does not have
Bob Brooks address, but by this
time she will have the new
Roster and his address also.
The excerpts are from letters
from overseas only. She sent
me a copy, which I am very
grateful for and will print some
of them from time to time.
She says that she will not be
at the reunion this year as it is
so far away. Thank you Mary
Frances for all your time and
efforts and I am sure all will
enjoy the excerpts.
Jim and Eunice Whiteside (B)
sent a small note to say that
the Walter Glowatz that died
July 14, 1988 (in April, 1989
Hellcat News) was in B com-
pany and then transferred to
Hq Company. They also report-
ed that Clarence Ewing (B) had
a lump taken off his shoulder.
It was cancer, but they got it
all and does not have to take
any treatments.
Bob Saehloff (495th) sent a
clipping from the home town
paper where Frank Argulewicz
(A) lives. The affair was spon-
sored by about 150 family, fri-
ends, and parishioners from St.
Joseph's on Wall Street and Con-
gregation Agudas Achim on
Lucas Avenue.
Frank, known from "A to Z"
during his more than 30 years
with the fire department as
Kingston City Deputy Fire
Chief, had been custodian at
the Lucas Avenue temple for
some 17 years - "about nine
rabbis" was the way he put it.
He's made substantial progress
after being hospitalized with
kidney illness last winter.
Long time friend Ted Weiner,
who along with othes originally
offered Frank the custodian's
job, organized the testimonial.
When his wife Erma took him
across Lucas Avenue to a crowd-
ed parking lot and an outdoor
barbecue, he was more curious
than surprised.
"What the hell's this all
about?" he asked
"It's for you," she said.
He's grateful to the staff and
professionals at Kingston Hos-
pital's dialysis unit who pulled
him through last winter. "It's
OK to mention illness," Frank
said, "but please also give
credit to the people at Kingston
Hospital."

The last time I saw Col. Novosel, his leg looked
like a piece of raw meat.
"POWs of the 12th ARMORED DIVISION" is available again in a limited number.
Now all of you whose orders we had to return with regrets, can re-order, but DO IT NOW.
Although costs have gone up, we have held the price to the same as before. The
Executive Council voted for this reprint as a service to the Membership, not as a fund raiser
This b ook belongs to the 12th Armored Division Association and has proven to be of interest to
all, not just ex-POWs. The stories are by the fighting men and others doing their job in the war
zone.
In Leonard Dooley's book, 12th ARMORED DIVISION ASSOCIATION, 25th ANNIVER-
SARY, it states on page 29, "Tankers of the 43rd BN and doughs of the 17th BN entered
Herrlisheim from many directions, planning to hook up in the towns center. They never met. The
well placed enemy captured large groups of both battalions, including both COs, Lt. Col.
Nicholas Novosel, 43rd and Ma/'. James W. Logan 17th. Many men were killed. 'THINGS ARE
PLENTY HOT1 was the last report over Col. Novosel's radio."
Ever since reading this, I have wanted to know what happened just before Col.
Novosel's radio went dead, and especially what happened just after. IT'S IN THIS BOOK with
first hand reports and vivid discriptions of battles that followed from different points on the
battlefield.
