Al (And 81s Gang)
I cant believe we actually found “Freddy Johnson” Ha! Plus hooking up with Gordon Brown is also good news as I had been in touch with him a few years ago (About nine) but then I lost touch with him. Still he set me up with some good flicks and he also said that he had been to a reunion.
Anyway I was so happy to hear about Freddy Johnson that I just got off the phone with his granddaughter who is only 16 but then it was only 11 PM out there in Wichita Kansas.
In any event, I told the grandchild of 16 years, that I (Maverick the TONK Player from 81s ) would be calling again in the morning. Just to say hello to my old nemesis.
Dang Guys. This is great news and especially if we could get some of these guys to come to the reunion. Hmm? Now what ever happened to that Corporal Arms from North Carolina? As I recall he was another Whiskey Wheels and at one time he was my Squad leader.

Coop,
I talked to Frederick R. Johnson earlier today. He remembers Lt. Green and Ventura. He gave me the name of another platoon member by the name of GordonT. Brown. I found Frederick’s and Gordon’s name and addresss, ph. # and email address in the 2008 Khe Sanh Veterans Directory. I also found Gordon listed. And, believe it or not, I found Ken Fisak name on the internet. I called the number listed but he was at work. I did talk to his wife. I will forward the information to both of them.
Frederick R. Johnson Ken Fisak Gordon T. Brown
