| Comment: | Had a familiar voice answer a number I called, after using the Whitepage search engine. I’ve been looking for this Gladiator for 30 + years. An old Crewchief I flew with my home state of Minnesota. Donal Shindledecker.He crewed #118 He’s living in Washington state. He was excited to talk about what we went through, and wants to attend our reunions. I tell the story of Donal having a locker full of different weapons, and him offering me to take what needed. I chose the 79 grenade launcher . He recalled that scenario. I will be communicating with him regularly. If anyone knew Donal Shindledecker, and wants to contact him..let me know. He claimed to have gone on R&R with Petrowski. Donal was there 67-68 Finally..a piece to the puzzle in place. Jim Carriere | |

| Comment: | Joe Billings, Still are waiting on Sergio and Dianna to give the go ahead on the reunion to have it relocated in Las Vegas. Lots of complicated issues brought on by Covid. Hope you all will be patient with this process. Patty Carriere has contacted the Orleans Hotel for bookings in case Sergio and Dianna can not move forward with their obligations. So right now it’s up in the air. But the targeted date others had in mind, is ( October 14-16 ) which has been strongly suggested. Will keep you all in the loop. Jim Carriere 57th AHC C.E. Kontum The following have been notified on this tentative suggestion. Sam Moore Steve Hayduk Joe Billings John Horton Sergio Helm Dave Hickey | |
