Does anyone recall who was 712's Crew Chief during May of 1966? Or the SFC Operations Sergeant during May of 1966? I am looking for the men who flew with me on a three trip med-evac mission out of Cu Chi to a 25th Division artillery fire base.

After going through this message board I feel like I should show up at the reunion as a visitor. The only names that I recognize is Hal Bowen and Frank Anton but if you give me a a/c tail number, I can probably tell you if it was one of ours during my time in 66-67.

Roger, the reunion has been in Texas 4 times I believe. I like the idea of it being in different places. I know travel is getting to be an issue with some of our company and our numbers shrink every year. Wherever Ron and the gang want to have it and when, I will be there if at all possible. Made every one since Orlando as that was the first one I heard about.

Major James was our company commander when I was there 69-70. A finer CO there never was. The man was as good as they come. Sorry to hear he is a gone.
