Cannon Company 399th Inf. Pforzheim 27 July 45 Hello Dave, Last night, I enjoyed a "Jack Benny in person" troupe show. With him were Ingrid Bergman, (and Dave, what a beautiful hunk of woman Ingrid is!!) Martha Tilton, and Larry Adams, the world's greatest harmonica player. They exhibited quite a show, too. Benny had his violin with him also, and that completed everything! Ha! Oh, I almost forgot to tell you where this took place. It was in Stuttgart. I am in Pforzheim, about forty kilometers from Stuttgart. About a week ago, I was in Stuttgart to see a Regimental show, put on by 398th The "Sons of Bitche". That was the name of the show they put on.
