Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Jim Regan Message: Although Wil did not list me, Joyce and Kenny were my next door neighbors in the trailer park, two trailers down. In fact, Kenny rounded up the gang of Rangers, and helped "set up" our 70' X 14'. When I went back to the 'Nam in '71, I left the family, wife & four children, there in Dahlonega. I knew they were safe & sound because they were living among the Ranger families at the trailer park. Joyce and Kenny looked over my family 'til I returned. In years gone by, I've been able to stay in touch w/ Kenny & Joyce. Christmas cards, sometimes attending the CCOs at the same time. I feel for Kenny's loss and am beside him in spirit. Rest in peace Miss Joyce. Jim RLTW/L&P |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Steve Hawk Message: Rangers This Saturday is the Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. This year it will take place behind the NCO Club at the Camp. Unfortunately I have to be with the Color Guard for JROTC at State Meet. The grand Prize baskets are at the camp along with all the food. I will take the rest of the prizes there on Thursday. I will have the Cadets fill the eggs with candy today and tommorrow and have then Thursday at the club. I know Al will be there, so I hope some of you can help. Be there at 0830 to hide eggs and prepare to cook the food. I have hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and drinks at the club. Charcoal and lighter fluid also. Dan, can you get plates, napkins,spoons, forks etc, cheese, tomatos, onions and lettuce on friday or Saturday morning. PeeWee can you move your grill behind the club before Saturday? Guys, I'm sorry I can't be there but we just got word on Color Guard Meet. First time I will miss the egg hunt. Also I got the throw and they left out the climber and Ranger Instructor off of the emlem on the throw. They advised that the image did not come in clear when they got the picture. I have resubmitted. Steve |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Ross Hall Message: Joe, Mike may still have a few on his shelf. We could get you in touch. They're great. I used them as reference for The Ranger Book, plus interviews with Mike and Doug Perry and MG Scholes, and I have Willard Langdon's great Khe Sahn story, but Mike is the authority, without doubt. All I do is collect stories. There is just not that much out there about the BDQ, unless you were one of them. It is such an elite group, there weren't that many of them. Perhaps another book by Mike with a bunch of interviews? A definitive volume. He needs something to do now that Bill has the reins. Too much talent and knowledge to sit idle. Bill, why don't you holler at him? |
