Major Hill,

You were very instrumental in keeping the 106th Invantry Division Assn., intact & vibrant. For all your hard work on behalf of the 106th, I salute you. We'll miss you at the Milwaukee reunion.

I am very sorry to hear about Major.



After moving to Florida 18 years ago, I've lost touch with many or my friends.



I remember going to work with my sister Fran when she worked for Major when his business was by theater. Major would let me sit at one of the desks and draw on paper.



Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
