      Funny world, I was on a smoke break tell in old Border Patrol stories yesterday with my assistant instructors,,,,,, "Yeah, I really need to see if I can find my old running buddy Jay." Well mark that off the "to do" list. Do you rember those old "Alex the Cat" and "Petra you want to go out to the Volks Wagon" cartoons you made for me. Still got them.

      At 3:37pm on January 17, 2009, Eric Leafblad said…Hey Jay,

      Shoot me an email and I will send the January Reunion SITREP and I will get you on the email chain. My email address is: eleafblad@comcast.net

      Based upon the names that you had posted on your Base page I've found addresses for Voss, Danaher and Landis. The other names are more common so if you can remember home states that will help me find these guys. Otherwise it will be a little more dificult to find them.

      Pete Salerno and Sgt. David "Slim" are both on Dragoon Base. Bob Pederson has some great photos of your time in B-trp. You can find all three in my friend section of my Base page.

      I arrived at the Rock Decemeber 9, 1986. I was part of that giant group of 'Cruits. The Troop was at Camp Gates. They brought us up for Christmas and I pulled KP for the Christmas meal. After the meal, we retired to the barracks and did a little vehicle and aircraft ID border initiation fun.

      Hey Jay,
      You must have perfect timing. B-Trp is putting together a reunion. We are getting together in Louisville the weekend of April 24-26. David "Slim" Cox created a web site for us. Visit www.alwaysreadyalwaysfirst.org

      We have found Steve Cruz. We letters out to Lance Fisher, Shannon Alexander, Scott Maynard and Bruce Pfeffer.

      I got to B-Trp in Decemeber of 1986 so I don't think we served together. As far as members of B-Trp you might remember: Robert Pederson, Pete Salerno and Slim are on the Dragoon base too.

      Give me an email if you want more information on the Reunion.

      The list of names you listed on your page here are very valuable. I have faces for Voss and Buchanan but I could'nt remember their names. I'm going to start trying to located the folks you listed.

      Do you remember Curry's first name and home state?

      Scouts out!
      Eric
