Message: John - Hey Ranger Buddy! Sorry, but if you read thru the lines you would see I'm doing great! I'm rid of a lying, stealing, drug user! I'm spending my time being with my grandsons, yet got another one the other day. When I'm doing that I'm riding from rally to rally on my harley. Been looking for some ponytails to cut off!! e-mail how I can get a hold of you when I get back in town.

Message: I just read an online article that I found to be interesting so I'll pass this one on. Peoria Heights, Illinois, the childhood home of General (D) Wayne A. Downing has just opened a new American Legion Post. It is: Wayne A. Downing Post #1111 of the American Legion in Peoria, Ill.

Message: Hi Ross, The names look pretty good, it's the suquence that needs a little "tweaking". Commanders and SGM/CSMs generally "overlap" meaning that a Commander assumes Command and the SGM/CSM is usually already there. Some exceptions yes, and this is a general statement only. In my case...I arrived at Camp Merrill in 96 and Luke Green was the Commander. One year later, Al Dochnal took Command. One year later, I retired. My time at Camp as the CSM was actually 96-98. SGM Richardson preceded SGM Monroe. Monroe was the "acting" SGM at Camp as a 1SG at the end of Hawkins and the beginning of Terrell. During Terrels time, Monroe was promoted to SGM. This was when Lonnie Miller became the 2nd Ranger Co. 1SG, after Monroe moved to the SGM slot, after Richardson. I can fill those pieces of your puzzle into place. Not a bad "first cut"...in fact, you've brought in a few names that I had forgotten about. Take care..Joe
