  Rafael, I see Capt. David Clark is on your "buddy find" list. Is this him in the Stetson?

  If so, he was killed a few years back in the Gulf. I have the article somewhere but can't find it. He and I e-mailed each other for a few years until his death.

  Much appreciated Rafael. The newsletter editor is on board and holding publication of the newsletter to add RCSM Trobough to the Fiddler's Green section. I sent him a photo to accompany the notice.

  SGT Pabon! I remember when that name would sent fear into the hearts of commanders and ncos  at camp GATES! Don't remember a lot of names, but this one I do. You and your border inspections were legendary. In fact, my first regimental inspection as a pvt in the ops room at Gates. Got moved to the SQDN ops center and wearing SGT stripes as an E-3. I know you won't remember me, but the most treasured commendation  I received was from LTC Brinkley ( a job well done memo from his desk). Was from that inspection.
