Uncle (Master Sergeant) Billy Bob Sitton final, it appears

Master Sergeant William M. Manion. 6' 1", looks like Ben Afleck, Mark says. Picture coming soon. I wish he was still here! I'll remember him!

I forgot! Our scanner went down last week too! I could've scanned this fax from Mark in and put it on here. Oh well. The fax from Mark didn't come out in real good detail anyway. Need a plan B. Maybe I can scan it into file at work. The fax has some detail, but I can't see Uncle Bill in any of them. I've never used the work scanner for such. Last I remember we were having trouble making files of scans.

Long talk with Mark yesterday! Wonderful time! He misses his father. It makes me miss my mother. I hope he can talk to Uncle Bill soon. I heard more about what happened to Mark's dad last night from Uncle Bill when I called him. I heard about how Sergeant Manion's wounds looked from Mark.

Mark's 9 years older than me. One of 8 siblings: I only know of Molly, Connie and him so far. Uncle Bill laughed and said "they must be Catholic" when I told him this! He can't wait to talk to Mark. He can't wait to see all of them. Trip to Minnesota is in the works.
