I couldn't log in with my old name, and my computer refused to cough up my password, so I re-registered.
I've been working really hard the last severeal months and have now created a blog for the 280 ECB. I've made some super contacts, and stumbled upon some great information.
So I'm going to post it here as well so that anyone that needs information on this elusive combat engineer unit can use it.
and this is what I've been working on with my own grandfather's (Fred W. Rupp) history, re:valley Forge Military Academy http://wonderfulwatercolors.blogspot.com/2...lley-forge.html
Cheers! Caryl
Caryl:
Just checked out your watercolors. They are just lovely. You are one talented lady. Hmmm, maybe I can get you to do one for me one day?
Even though I said congrats on your 208th Blog in another post, I will repeat the sentiment here! 
From a proud daughter to a proud granddaughter!
