temple, for sure, and plans to
get back to his landscaping on
the Wall Street side of St.
Joseph's just as soon as the
new handicapped ramp is com-
pleted. (Unit Reps Note: Please
keep the members of the 56th

Since I started this column
yesterday I received a letter
from Joe Mazzella B/56 contain-
ing a letter and a check for his
Life Membership. I'm sure that
many of you from B Company
will remember him. He said
that he was talking to Howard
Toms a few weeks ago and be
showed him some pictures
taken at the reunions and told
him about the association. Joe
is from Brick Town, NJ but
spends the winters in Port
Richey, FL. I hope both his
addresses is printed in this
edition of the Hellcat News.
Please copy all new addresses
into your Roster.
Joe says that the weather
gets too cold in the winter in
New Jersey nowdays. His
phone number in Florida is
(813) 841-6931 and he is there
from January to the last of
May every winter.
He bought his unit in Florida
last January and while he and
his wife Evelyn was walking
around to see the area they
spotted Robert L. Downey's
Van with the 12th Armored
Division patch on the spare tire.
Bob also told him about the
activities.
Joe says that he remembers
Reds Grenfell and Robert Clare,
but he don't think that he
would recognize them if he saw
them on the street. He also
recalls the names of Edward
Zybouski and John Nugent.
Also about Ferrill Duncan be-
ing the oldest man in the com-
pany.
He says that he will not be
able to make the reunion this
year but will be sure to attend
the one next year.
Joe's two daughters have jew-
elry stores in Middletown, NJ
and one in Eatontown, NJ.
Since the Christmas season is
their busiest time of the year,
he sticks around and helps re-
pairing watches and jewelry.
Joe, it sure is good to have
you in the association and I
am looking forward to seeing
you again after all these years.
IT'S GREAT TO BE A HELL-
CAT.

"The Clock of Life"
The clock of life is wound
but once and no man has
the power to tell just when
the hands will stop at a late
or early hour. Now is the
only time you own, to live,
love, work with a will; place
no faith in tomorrow, for the
clock may then be still.
