On February 2nd 1972 the last Men of L newsletter was issued by the Company Clerk, Lee Reuter who passed October 1972. He noted 25 updates that were provided by the men or their family members to him in 1970 but a stroke prevented him from a more timely newsletter. It is not known how often newsletters were issued. The information reflected the camaraderie of the men even 50 year after the end of WWI. Newsletter extract: Sam Bernstein wants one more reunion.
