What I remember most about you is that your the guy that stole my blankets when we moved from Yoido to Seoul Airbase. I'll bet you thought that I didn't know. Wrong, I just thought you must have needed them more then I. 10/28/2010 @ 15:07 [ref: 32590] |
| Walt Bolton Prineville,, OR | Greetings: I served as a TO with the 6th AV Platoon in Korea May, 1970 to July 1971. I would love to make contact with any of the Pilots, Crew Chiefs, Avionics, NCO's, and TO's who were there at that time. CWO Robert Spencer stands out as does Cpt. Lowe. There were other wonderful people -- D.K Wood, Scott Sanders, Sandy Wolfe, Randy Wilson, John Cotrell, Thane Hopkins, but my memory does not serve me well for the many others. I did a lot of adventuring and mountain climbing off base -- and one of my Pilots joined me on a couple of excursions. I would love to hear from anyone connected with that experience.
Of course I loved the OV1. Sincerely, Walt Bolton Sp4 Ret. 10/07/2010 @ 15:32 [ref: 31140] |
