January 27, 2010 - Finally I have the 1340th page back up on a server that I hope will be here as long as I am around. Anyone who was in the 1340th or had reletives in the 1340th are invited to contact me at the email address above. It is not a "click on" link so just type it in your address window of your email program. I'm trying to keep the spam down by doing this.
