  Jim, you are right, it is Topping and not Topper. I don't remember him as being the greatest, the last I remember of him we were at Camp May on a Border tour. I did run into him at Fort Know in later years but don't really know what happened to him after that. 1SG Folger was my fist permanent duty 1SG. He was tough, fair and really took care of us. I remember a couple of times he could have really slammed me hard but didn't. I certainly learned some leadeship traits from him and applied them when I was in leadership positions.

  Thought it was a little ironic that both our troop CO's went on to be 65th and 67th regimental commanders respectively, and are pictured standing next to each other at the reunion. Tom Molino was my troop CO when I was in C Trp 74-75, and went on to be President of the 2nd Cavalry Association. He just stepped down a couple months ago after serving the Association for better than 10 years.
  
  Tom Molino took over C Trp from "Ranger Pete" Schoomaker, my other troop CO, in 74. Pete went on to command Delta Force before retiring. President Bush brought him out of retirement to be Chief of Staff of the Army.

  Toujours Pret Jim,
  Welcome to the new DragoonBase, the new Base has plenty of newer features, lots of sub-groups,(ie,F-Trp,Amberg,Medics,etc.) and links for 2nd Cav News and History.
  Robb Russell has posted some tips for navigating the site (ie,photos,links,ect) in the Forum.
  Make sure you stop by and read the latest Tacoma Dave ‘Triva Quiz’, learn some 2nd Cav history and you can even win a kool prize.
  If you need any help, you can contact Robb, 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, ‘Keep it clean’, use our Real names/with Pictures(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 the new DragoonBase.
  
  Thanks again for joining Dragoon Base, and for your service to our great country,
  Jesse Kelley
