I remember Lt McAdams when I knew him I am sure he was promoted. I remember E7 Folger he lived near where i did off post with his family a great guy.

I dont know the others u are talking about below .. The LTC was Braun when I was there and CWO Miller was there when I was there. When I was in K troop before moving on to HQ TRP or personnel was 1SG Kautz I found him he is still alive living in Colorado.. The Capt in charge of K troop when I was there was CPT Laabs he has since passed away.

If u come up with more of the past let me know

During that time I became pretty good at fixing gasoline personnel heaters on the M114 Scout Vehicles. CPT Mcadams moved me to the maintenance section and I became the tank turret mechanic. I was trained by a guy named Connery who was a draftee. He left about 6 months later and got out of the Army. I was there from Nov 66- Dec 69. Made SGT and was the acting MTR SGT for a while until I rotated out. I went back for my last tour in the Army from 85-88, retired with 21 years and 5 months. Some of the guys I worked with my first tour 66-69: Parker, Black, Bjerke, Grignon, SSG Woods (MTR SGT), SSG Mike Allan, 1sg Folger, That's about all I can think of right now. Take care, Jimmie Henry

Did you stay in the Army? Where are you now--Michigan? I am visiting my daughter in Norfolk. She's in the Navy. Another daughter works for ESPN. We live in CT. Hope to hear from you. Dave Swarts
