      Hi, John nice to to see you again and looking good, glad you saw the pictures, nice memories, thanks for remind me of Crecioni I have not seing him Delgado or Ruiz since 83. Arroyo and me are working @ San Juan VA Hospital. Hey Walker keep in contact. This group is the best.

      John, I'm always amazed by your memory for historical details. I can barely remember our OSUT training. I remember we hooked up with the Chrysler engineers to help them write the dash10 for the M1. I'd really like to get sitrep on what became of the RoadRunner. I doubt the Swiss would appreciate you cruising their towns in your RoadRunner. Too bad I didn't kick in some money to you to have that care shipped to The Rock. I emailed your blackberry. kenlucas77@verizon.net

      Hey John,

      You can send private messages on here. You just go to the persons page you want to contact and click on "Send Message" in the left column under their picture. It will open a new page where you can leave a private message only they can see.

      Dave

    Tell us a little about you now.

    I left the Army after one enlistment. During my post-Army career (turnarounds of automotive, railroads and industrial companies) I’ve worked mostly in Europe but also Asia and the United States. Today I assess procurement and supply chain operations for clients, based in Switzerland. Most of my clients are manufacturers of machinery for food production (i.e., grain milling, pasta extrusion, chocolate processing, etc.). I live in a small village called Hombrechtikon about 30 km SE from Zürich: more cows than people!
