Korean War Veterans’ Mini-Reunions .............................
25th Div., Signal Corps
After a hiatus of 47 years, members of
the 25th Div., Signal Corps held their
11th reunion. They gathered in
Milwaukee, WI, Sept. 16-19. Wisconsin
residents Rollie Berens, Bob Eifert, Jan
Graveline, Dianne Teske, and Dick
Wawrzyniak hosted the reunion. Guests
included wives, daughters, and friends.
Highlights of the four-day event
included a visit to the Pabst Mansion,
lunch at Mader’s Restaurant, a cookout,
a visit to the Domes (a horticultural
exhibit), and a banquet to wind things
up.
We have lost six of the attendees at
our first reunion in Washington DC in
1999. In addition to being comrades,
they were good friends. Their names
and years of death are Art Jaffe (1999),
Gene Coffman (2002), Al Rifkin (2003),
Al Seidenrose (2007), Bob Quarello
(2008), and Jim Lyons (2008).
Next year’s event will be held in
Tucson, AZ in September. All 25th
Division people are invited. Contact
