      How the hell are you.  I am still married to the girl I met 25 years ago. I have a 22 year old daughter, and an 18 year old son. I also have a 14 month old Granddaughter. "Bailey Scarlet" is her name.  Got some good buckeye stuff in there.  Michigan still sucks!  Toujours Pret!

      Welcome home Trooper.
      The Dragoonbase.com, has
      plenty of updated features
      (similar to MySpace), lots of sub-groups,
      (Officers Club,F-Trp,Amberg,Medics,etc),
      and links for “2nd Cavalry Assn.”
      News and History Centers.

      Robb Russell has posted some tips for
      navigating the site(ie,photos,links,ect)
      in the Forum.

      Please feel free to stop by and read the
      latest “Tacoma Dave's ‘Triva Quiz’”,
      you can learn some 2nd Cav history,
      and you could even, win a kool prize.

      If you need any help, you may contact
      Robb Russell, or any of the 5 admins listed
      at the top of the page, or just yell out,
      another member may be able to help you.

      And our only wish is to,
      ‘Keep it clean’.
      Use your real name and picture,
      (pix from back in the day,work best
      for searching for Brothers),
      but any picture will do.

      And that you please tell all your friends
      about, where to find the DragoonBase.

      Thanks again for joining Dragoon Base,
      and for your Service and Dedication,
      to Our Great Country.

    Tell us a little about your cav days.

    In HHT, roomed with Matthew Darnell - AKA "Hotdog" (Dragoon Member), Kevin Eberly - AKA "E.B.", Kevin Willis "Chilly Will" and Tony Favreau. Bounced around a bit to get promoted, remember Wes Coast from the 502nd MI. Spent a lot of time getting hurt, having some good times dealing with the VA now. Still, I wouldn't trade the old Cav days for anything. Talk to Tony about 3-4 times a year. Wonder what became of Sgt. Al Mongomery and his old BMW - rode to the RPC with him every day for over a year, had wisdom about women that I have come to appreciate.


    Tell us a little about you now.

    Married for 23 years. Son is now 9. Teach science in Livonia, MI - near Detroit. Livin' the dream. Boat in the summer, hockey in the winter!


    Do you have a web site?

    Kevin Eberly - last spoke to him in about 2000. Lloyd Boates. Sgt Al Montgomery.
