Guys, if the reunion is half as good as the phone calls I’ve had with platoon members recently, it will be pretty great.

Reunion Hotel
I hope you show at the TEXAS Reunion as I want to talk to you about your photos, my photos, Billy V’s photos Coops photos and Pedro’s photos and any of the other 81s guys who had access to a camera back in the day. Whether it was at Khe Sanh or when we went on the BLT. (Serious. I have been trying to sort them out for ten years but I need some help)
Jeez Smitty, I have been promising to find those photos for a long time, haven’t I? Guess I better get on it.
I’m out of town ’til next week, but will get it done when I get back.

Reunion Update
I had a great conversation with Larry Ballard earlier this week. He had sent me a DVD that includes TV interviews with him on his reflections of Vietnam and the re-interment of 2/26 chaplain’s assistant Alexander Chin, who was killed with Father Brett at Khe Sanh. Larry contacted the Chin family in the late 90s and arranged to have the reburial ceremony at Arlington.

This is great news and I had better get off my ass and start sending some emails
I think I have photos of all the guys you just mentioned and maybe even a photo of Maynard Sinclair.
Reunion
Eloy, need to know exact dates, name of hotel for reservation, and destination airport. I’ll be flying from Orlando. Also, are you guys taking your respectives wifes? I’m trying my best with the search.
Rod, Pedro and all-
I’m glad Pedro’s coming. This will be a good reunion. Maybe we can even convince Billy V to steer his hog southwest…
I wouldn’t dare leave my wife Mary Jean at home — she’s heard too much about you guys to miss the chance to meet you in person.

Radiomen always have a channel
Funny thing. No idea who started it, but I suppose the radiomen from previous battles or occupations had found the secret channel before us guys. Hmm? Maybe I am exaggerating here but so what?
Bill
Just like the Khe Sanh Vets Bull Jive Net that we had going at Khe Sanh in the early days of the Siege. Sure. We talked to each all the time but we hardly ever seen anybody. Hmm? Well that is the way I saw it. For example I knew you from Phu Bai but it was only for a few days and then I never heard from you again for a couple of months. But then we got sent to Khe Sanh we somehow ”hooked up” to the Khe Sanh Bullshit Net. Continue Reading »
