Greetings from Afghanistan,
   My name is Cale Hobson and I am an Infantryman currently serving in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. First of all, I would like to send my thanks to the unit historian for providing me with information regarding my grandfather.
   I am looking to contact anyone that served in the crew of Lt. E.A. Viehman with my grandfather Kenneth Hobson, he was a ball turret gunner.

My dad, Bill Erzar, (Bill Tobin crew) was a friend of Pete Orlando on the Viehman crew. When I was a child Pete came to visit my dad a couple of times in Ely, MN and they corresponded and sent Christmas cards to each other frequently. Pete lived in Florida. I'll see if I can locate a picture of Pete and my dad when he came to visit. I do remember them talking about Pete having to bail out on one of his missions but that's about all I remember about it. My, dad passed away in 1997 and I believe Pete passed away a year or two after that. (My mom got a letter from Pete's wife, but my mom passed away in 2003.)

Cale,
    I'm looking thru my 2005 401st Bomb Group Assoc Directory and on page 30, I find Eugene A. Viehman listed. It shows his address as 14555 E. Hampden Ave., Apt. 220, Aurora, CO., (303)366-5022, catapillar19@juno.com
    I'm finding a couple of contacts that flew with my Dad on the Bill Tobin crew in this directory.
