Ronnie Mashima was a cannoneer in Bravo Battery with me and Danny Fort. He wanted very much to come to the reunion but was unable to. He sent 3 coins to me. He wanted me and Danny to have one and someone who remembered him to have the other. John Bowden remembered him well. Ronnie wanted in some way to be represented at the reunion.
