It was good to see the pictures. It brought back a lot of memories. I was there the same time you were (Oct 1965- Oct 1966). I have lost touch with everyone. Please let me know if there is any reunion planned. I work with a lady whose husband was with the 145th Aviation and they seem to have frequent reunions. Hope someone will start one for us.
It would be good to hear from anyone that served during that timeframe.
Fitz, I remember you being there. Also one of you pictures was of Ken Lowe.....he was my replacement.
Let me know if you have any addresses or phone numbers.
