Glad to hear you have a family! I am still married to Cathy - we just celebrated our 29th anniversary. We have a son, David who is 25, in Chicago and a daughter, Erin who in 23, in Columbus Ohio. No grandkids yet. My email is szyddj@gmail.com - send me yours and I'll send you pics of the family. I have not found any E Trp photos - but I did find some from H Co that I'll post.
I've only run into a few guys from 3d Platoon E Trp over the years - including Sylvester - who was my very last driver in E Trp - and who was a platoon sergeant in 2/2 when I was squadron commander and a 1SG at Fort Knox when I was there later.

Ric/Butch/Top - I always wondered what happened to you and whether or not you got out and went off to be a mercenary. Glad to see you are still kicking. No Slack!

All these many years.... damn but yer right on that, Butch. Oh, I had big plans for life, but life does have ideas of its own. I wound up with the Department of Energy after I left the Army and worked in things that I never imagined; built reactors and reactor fuel processing facilities, escorted weapons components, managed logistics and programs. I even worked on the peoject that manufactured the armor package for the M-1 (which incidentally was set up inside the abandoned hanger for the nuclear aircraft project). Anyway, I retired last year and now work as a consultant on a DOE project. You made it quite a ways from Lapwai homeboy.

BTW Cassidy, I thought that you couldn't wait to get out of the cav. What's your story?

Of course I remember you. Your mug and the whole troop is still on my wall. I saw Cowboy Wilkens in 91 or so when I was the CINCUSAREUR's XO. He had subdued a trooper gone wild and was awarded a Soldier's Medal. I hear from Top Miller once in a while. He retired near the Rock and worked at Graf. He's now retired from that too. Please go to www.dragoons.org and join our association. We do a lot of good work for our current troopers and their families. We just put up a magnificant memorial and we are in the process of awarding some college scholarships. I check this email address infrequently but will always respond eventually.

Butch, Thanks for last trace on Langlo, Saw Jim Mitchell message below while anwsering this; Gainey was working in Germesheim as DAC and he used drop by regularly up until the time I retired in Graf in 2005. The Community was downsizing or closing (don,t remember which) and he was looking for another home. I saw Wilkins once in the early 90's in Bayreuth, we both in a rush and only exchanged hello's. Olivarez made CSM, divorced his wife and married a young SP4, last saw about 8 years ago while he was visiting friends here in Bayreuth. Top

Butch,

It would be nice to reconnect with guys like SFC Skipper, 1LT Bill Eicher, SSG Marvin Olive, 1SG Oliveraz, "Cowboy " Wilkins, Gene Gainey, etc. Have you ever heard from any of these guys?

Jim

Butch,
I also have Mullinix's info at home. Send me an email with phone number to bweber@act-i.com and I'll establish comms. Also failed to mention SFC John Morro, Johnson, the Beast, Hippe(1st PLT), and others who all taught me what right looked like - never forgot what I learned and the value of great NCOs taking care of their officers!!!

Butch,
Good Lord, I've been looking for you for years!!! Glad you're well and enjoying yourself. My email is bweber@act-i.com ........ shoot me a note to that address and send your phone number. I retired last JAN and always reflected on my days with C/1-2 CAV as being the most important in my development. All you guys (Top Miller, Langlo, Hippe (1st PLT), Johnson, you of course, and others really established a great foundation of what right looked like and I never forgot it. Thanks!!! Looking forward to talking .......... Bill

Butch, Do you know where Art Langlo is? Did he finish his career and what is he doing now? My wife Trudy had a stroke about 18 mo's ago, she recovered well and is back on feet now. This area Bayreuth/Bindlach has changed so much since the wall came down, there are some good pictures in the photo gallery from Gates; I don't think I saw any from Pitman or Rotz Camps. If you know where any of our soldiers are from back then please help get on line. Tx, Top
