Hey John
Don't know if you remember me I came to the 2nd platoon in Aug 1963. You roomed across the hall from the scouts room with the tankers. I remember you well.
You mentioned a bunch of names like cross and Mac and others I remember.
For a long time I've tried to remember the name of the big Indian guy from Arizona. perhaps you remember his name. I bunked in the scouts room with him and Mac.
Also I came to B Troop with another Loyd - Danny
