Bill Irby will be missed. Bill was the main reason, along with Kerry McMahon, that I came home safe. Bill was my AC for several months, always got us back to the company area safe and sound. One night, after we had moved inland at Chu Lai, I met Bill and Kerry walking near the officers club. Bill says hey come to the officers club with us. Bill and Kerry thought about giving me one of their WO bars, but then Bill thought if we got caught they would charge me with impersonating an officer. So Bill and Kerry decided to take me in without any rank on my uniform. Bill said he would tell anyone who inquires that I was a new guy to the unit. Bill says besides who is going to question he or Kerry. We went into the officers club and no one said a thing. Thank you Bill for all the great memories.

Steve I have pictures of us pre-flighting the A/C for the flight to Hue. Even have a picture of Irby walking around the A/C. I do remember the ass chewings but the best part was Fast Eddie never knew about it. Or if he did he never let on. That was a stressful R&R but what a story, AWOL in a combat zone. I remember we all thought we would get shot for that.
