To all my fellow Boat People I'm trying to remember the name of our C troop First Sergeant, older guy with short gray hair kinda gruff, from New York I think. Capt. Bush was the C.O and Lt. Festa was the XO till he went to A troop. Top was there when we were still at Fort Riley. I'll never forget him, just his name. I screwed up the trans in his jeep, did I catch hell. Sure hope there are still some boat people out there with good memories. I served as the armorer June 66 to Oct 67.
God Bless All You Guys and welcome home.

Joe Justice, I had afew brews with Gene Stevens the other night and neither one of us could remember your name, but does that surprise you. Your name does ring a bell in my little pea brain, but sometimes I think I want to remember more than I really do. I was installed on Genes tank mid May 67' and was with him till early Dec.67' when he left country. Ray Littman was one of my crew memembers, which we keep in contact with each other and I met him again for the first time at the re-union at Co.Sprgs. in June 46 yrs. later. Some of the names I recall, Sgt. Ute, Adair, Jim Fisher,

carter, Lenard(Mortar Track),Wille Angus, John Lay, Leroy Boone, And many faces I can't put a name to. Terry Pilkington 3rd plt. A trp., 5-67to5-68.
