The Bulge Bugle
PO Box 336
Blue Bell, PA19422

Enclosed is information from South Dakota State University about the passing of my friend Sherwood Berg. I don’t know if he was a member of VBOB, but noticed that he had been a pall bearer for General Patton so figured that might be worth a mention in The Bulge Bugle. He also had crossed the Ludendorf Bridge at Remagen with the 78^th Infantry Division.

I was in a statistics class with him at South Dakota State after the war and marveled at his superior intelligence. As I recall there were only seven or eight of us in the class and I was clearly at the bottom. Until I read the enclosed material I had no idea that we were so close together during WWII. My 8^th Armored Division crossed the Rhine at Wesel, just above Remagen ~ about ten days later. We had a vets club at South Dakota State and both of us were in it, but I don’t recall any of us talking about our war experiences. I guess we had had our fill of war.
