"Good Picture Bill. Since this picture, on December 18th, 2012 my brother in law Bill Keitz passed away at home. He fought the hard fight and lost to the big C. Miss you Bill. You were a man's man who was proud of his service, and his country. He…"
"Hey Guys, I am really looking forward to this. I have a room reserved and
think this will be a really good time. Thanks for putting it together Bob. I'll call you
soon. I checked "Might" because of some elderly care I am committed to but
my…"
"Oh my gosh! I haven't heard from you in years... How the heck are you? Don't tell me you're still in the area. I asked that question because only you could reply with an affirmative answer. Anyone else, had it been someone coincidentally with the…"
"Just noticed you're now in Florida so I guess the local connection will be seasonal since I have a place down there as well. We're a little southwest of you in Fort Myers about 3 1/2 hours away. Do you still get up this way these days?"
"Hey Michael, it just dawned on me who you are....I remember now that we were in either Palma or Athens when some of your family came to visit you over there. I remember thinking how cool that would be to go on leave and be with my family in Europe.…"
"Hey that's my old buddy Bull Gantt showing under the port wing. Can't tell who's on top, but we all know it was all of us more times than we'd like to admit..."
"Same with me. We are int he process of acquiring vacation property via a short sale in Ft. Myers and it may conflict. It will be a last minute thing for me as much as I really want to go."
"I can't tell from this angle but 510 was my aircraft in PR during that period. I found it in Pennsacola (152635) at the museum on display. This particular plane had a Viet Nam and Persian Gulf I history I wasn't aware of. It was pretty cool to…"
"Haven't changed a bit Al. Thanks for sharing. I'll never forget the day I got my shiner. I sewed Second Class on that day and an airman tagged me on my already sore shoulder. Chased him around til I jumped through some bomb racks. Black eye was from…"
"I won't hog the forum, but I want to ask who all if any are considering the Forrestal reunion this year? I am really wanting to go. Have a great day everyone. It's a beautiful day here in old Hamilton Ohio."
"As for our good buddy Steve Downes, what a guy! Hey Steve, you remember traveling to Clayton's family farm in Ballsville Va? What a trip. I remember the Old Milwaukee and Stroh's flowing like a water supply line, not to mention the back seat urinal…"
"Anyone ever hear from Bradley Simms? I just remember him and Clayton wrestling as we did many times and Brad fell from a bunk in the barracks at Fallon Nevada hitting his head. He had siesures from then on and the Navy medically retired him as equal…"
"Hey, same here. Long time since walking up that ramp for the first time huh? I really have some fond memories of those days. Alan Lieberman is really good at jogging the old cobwebs. BTW, for some reason, I thought we called you Kent. Eric Kent…"
Hey rick, Me again. From your pictures, you are still as young and pretty as I am. Fort Meyers is a fun road trip for us. When you are down this way, give me a call, it would be fun to see you and Debbie again. We also have room for company here if you want a base to see the theme parks. We are traveling north in the Spring to visit Randy Tocci, Joe Whispell, and Paison. Later, Mac
Hey Rick, Yep, it's me. I tried to get up with you a few weeks ago, but I probably did something wrong. My Dad passed away a few years ago, so we don't get out there as much as we used to. Florida has been or home for the last 20 some years. We have to get together when you make it down this way. From your Facebook page (my wife and I share a page), it looks like you have had a good life since we last met. That makes my heart glad. Let's keep in touch, Mac
I often wonder what happened to him. I have looked every where I can think of. CMDR R C Allen made ADM but died a little while ago. Griff(AE ROOF RAT) is in VA.

You remember locking guys in a locker and then tossing them into the dumpster?
