| Location: | Peoria Arizona | |
| Comment: | Served 1970-71 as crew chief. Wounded in action on June 3rd 1970 flying into Laos. I started in An Khe and helped move company to Pleku after the big attack. I mostly staged out of Kontum, spent a lot of time playing Spades while waiting operations orders. I could only find 1 group photo of myself in the year book (pg11 center, under the 2nd \"N\' in \"No Smoking sign\" standing in front next to Wayne G. (no shirt). I was gung-ho and spent most of my time in the air. Great site | |
