Greg Kesper making jiffy pop in our room. Looks like a well stocked bar! Do you think we had enough stereo equipment? I have no idea how those road signs ended up in our room! Someone must have planted those while we were sleeping!

Anyone spend anytime on Mt. Meissner? I remember we had an E7 we called Pathfinder and once he was looking across the border with his binoculars and his counterpart on the other side was looking back at him with his binoculars! Pathfinder very calmly raised his right hand and gave him the one-finger salute! This was 1979ish and I believe it may have been the single most important act that ended the Cold War! LOL! Ed Smith do you remember?

Hey All, thanks for your comments and photos over the last week! It's strange how relationships from 40 years ago can still make you feel so close! You have warmed my soul and energized my brain with your comments! It's a good feeling knowing that you are doing so well and enjoying life! Of course I have also learned of the passing of David Perlman and Rich Dewedoff....very sad...RIP brothers! So for now let's just say Happy Thanksgiving and spend some time with family and friends, eat a lot of turkey, take a nap and know that the people on this page are still your friends and will be forever! 415th ASA Strong!

The summer of 78 we went to a concert to see Jefferson Starship. It was outdoors and a rainy day. We all survived waiting for Grace Slick to take the stage. Then the manager came on stage and said that Grace had taken sick and the show was cancelled! The crowd went crazy and we were sitting about 30 rows from the stage. Wine bottles, big ones, were raining down on us! We got the hell outta there as fast as possible and as we were driving away we could see the stage was on fire! I know Bill Robison was with me...anyone else? Here is a link: http://worstgig.com/artist/g-through-m/jefferson-starship

Hey Everyone! Nice to see some activity on this site! Hope you are all doing well! Just curious, how many of you ended up making a 20 year career out of the Army and if not, what did you end up doing? I did my 4 years, got out and had a career in IT for 38 years now!
