Hello sir. I was on the Christensen Barracks Facebook page and accidentally clicked on your name. You had posted about attending an opera in Paris. That reminded me of a conversation we had 30 years ago about the Wagner festival in Bayreuth. I was a young SSG back then. I just wanted to thank you for all the leadership you showed.

Bob,

This is Steve Oliver from 1/2 ACR.  I served from June 1969 thru June 1972...HQT XO (and all the jobs that went with that position, moving to A troop with Ralph Barber as troop commander for about 3 months and then to Adjutant for LT Col George Rostine for 18 months and closed out my tour in S3 with Cpt John Roseburg.

I seem to recall having a party at your apartment that included Black Russian drinks.  I cannot remember all in attendance but, Tom Kreger, Bill Rounds come to mind.

Sue & I also hosted a couple Christmas parties at our APT in Fursetz.  

Let me know if my memory is correct.

Steve Oliver

This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.
