| Comments: | Was lift platoon NCOIC with F/9 in 72. Had the greatest bunch of troops I ever worked with in my 20 years with Uncle Sam. Have heard from a few of the crew and would like to hear from all who were with unit when I was. Lost all my contact info when computer crashed.
Live in Everett, WA now.
Funy, thougt myself old at 31 when I was there. Courrse had a lot of young troops working with me. Remember most of the pilots were young ones too.
Can't make reunions due to being in wheelchair, but still enjoying life. |
