Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Hi Jimmy, Wellllll, it's actually 8 points with two small spikes, so I guess it's 8 or 10 depending on how you count them. It's not a Boone and Crocket record, but it sure looks real good on the Dinner plate. I like it prepared as "chopped steak" for dinner, and I like the "bulk sausage" made up as SOS poured over grits and eggs for breakfast. I used my trusty Marlin Lever Action .444 with the new Leveready ammo that came out of couple of years ago. It extended the range from a solid 150 yards to 300 yards, dead on. When you hit a deer with that big a bullet, they don't even know that they were killed. It just about knocks the rack off from em. I scope in just behind the the shoulder....takes everything out and drops em flat. They don't even give that tell tale "grunt"....just lays em out like Bambi on the ice pond. How are you doing anyway? |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Howard Denton Message: Will try to make both, but definitely taking grandson to the Open House. I have a coffee mug for you with that old 'Ranger School Crest' we spoke of earlier - got it back in '72. That crest used to be displayed on the inside of the Ranger Handbook with cord, lion, wreath, and such, and had an explanation of all the heraldry. The new coin is a beauty. I plan on getting a couple. As they say in the country, "Y'all done real good!" |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Todd Landen Message: I was recently a 1SG in 2/87 at Ft Drum. I'm now at Walter Reed for some personal medical festivities. I just checked in on SGM Corcoran. He's a little medicated but very optomistic. He moved his left leg while I was there. Very good news as he hasnt had surgery for his shattered back yet. I'll be in the AO for at least the next two weeks. If anyone would like a sitrep on Pat or would like me to relay a message feel free to shoot me the details on ako and I'll get it to him. todd.landen@us.army.mil |
