I was the 38 tank commander in A Troop from September 1968 through August 1969. For 47 years I have been trying to get in touch with my crew members. I believe they were Driver: Ron Sturdevant, Loader: Workman, and Gunner: Frazier. If anyone knows of them I would appreciate your getting in touch with me.
My address is 625 Barren Creek Rd., New Tazewell, TN 378255

Confucius 551BC to 479BC
2016-02-27-07-55
One day Confucius saw two boys argue.
Boy_A say: "Early morning, Sun size is bigger than noon.
so, early morning Sun is closer to us."
Boy_B say: "Mid noon, Sun is hotter than early morning.
so, mid noon Sun is closer to us."
Two boys ask Confucius judge who is right.
Confucius said: "I cannot judge who is right."

From our daily experience, if we saw a
man hold a torch walk toward us. When he
is far away, torch is smaller and colder.
When he is near by, torch is bigger and
hotter. Now the sun case,
Early morning Sun is bigger and colder.
Mid noon Sun is smaller and hotter.
This is really contradict to our daily
experience.

Hello Brothers:
Once again I come to the Guestbook with a heavy heart and the news of yet another Brother's passing on to Fiddlers Green. Our Brother and fellow C Trooper Jeff Lapp has passed on with an apparent heart attack Feb. 18 2016. Jeff was a loyal member of the Black Knights; he was always at every Reunion ready to help when needed. He will be missed by his loving family and his Brothers in the Black Knight Association. One of the last things Jeff did was send in a donation for a Brick in the name of a Brother that was KIA April 18 1969 As I said he will be missed. Jeff, go in peace enjoy the Brotherhood at Fiddlers Green, and know our Brother Black Knights will remember you! Until we meet again.

Commo guy (9er bravo) A troop about Nov.-Dec. 67 & B troop Jan or Feb to Nov. 68
Does anyone remember the tank slipping off the landing craft and into the Cua Viet river, or the tank flipped over on its turret, or the Sgt. (I think) who blew himself out of the turret hatch. I think he was messing with the main power cable and touched it to a round setting off the propellant. I just happened to be looking directly at the tank at that moment. One of the most unreal sights I ever saw before or since. BLESS THE BA$TARD CAV.
