I am in Lake Jackson, Tx approx 60 mi south of Houston, been here since '94 working as an industrial electrician in the chemical plants in the area.

Nice to hear from you!

Others working the phones and radios were Charles Vance, Jim Dickie, Jarvi, and its been too long the other names escape me. Oh yea, I think Cpt Walt Barnwell was the OIC.

Anyway, just a shout out to a fellow Cav Trooper.

I worked in the ROC for SFC Dave Stanley, but I hung out with some of your ner-do-wells Stirling Cale, Paul Bryan and Bob Robiero. I'm currently living in Las Vegas , where i'm head of security and asst mgr of a youth hostel/motel. Like I told Rick Clemons the other day,working with the kids keeps me young and keeping the barbarians (pimps, hos and drug dealers) away from the gates keeps me on my toes. Drop me a line if you remember me. I believe I was the "gunner" on your M-60 tank we gave you at your going away party. Adios from sunny Las Vegas, Bob Lane.

I am in contact every now and then with Dave Stanley who was the ROC NCOIC for awhile, possibly while you were there. He is retired like most of us and is living in Southern California. I kind of lost contact with most people but hope to find them and renew that bond. Rick

At 5:34pm on April 28, 2010, Dave Gettman said…: Thanks for the reply Barbara. We have a group here for the Honorary Squadron of Dragoons. You should check it out. I got to see the old books at the 2d Cavalry Museum when it was here at Ft Lewis in 2005-06.

At 12:07pm on April 27, 2010, Myron F. "Rick" Clemons said…: BJ, Yes I was there then and remember you! How are you and what are you doing now? I retired in 1995 after making the first Gulf War. The 2nd ACR was the BEST assignment ever -- we just didn't know how great we had it at the time. I'd enjoy hearing from you again! Always Ready, Rick
