Name a few buddies you served with that you would like to find.
Most are now Troopers in the Sky; I'd rather they did not find me just yet. But anyone still able to Hit the Leather and Ride, with or without a cane, and able to remember me, can give me a call.

Hello David.. I was in the Constabulary from 49 - 52. Started in Sonthofen was redesignated 517th FA, in Sonthofen and moved to Wetzlar in 49.
We are having our National Reunion for the Constabulary in San Antonio in September.
Which constabulary unit were you with?
Books arrived safe and sound yesterday. Can't thank you enough!
I see you joined the old timers group. Those guys really burn up the keyboards sometimes. Hope you can keep up. Looking forward to your participation.
Always Ready, Sir!

Glad to see someone has finally drawn you out and gotten you commenting again.
