   Bob, I was at Camp Gates when you were there with D Company.

  The food was always very good.

  One time when I went on a patrol I took a cook along as an observer.

  On patrol we stopped and picked mushrooms.

  I do not rember his name, he was an xray tecnician as a civilian before the Army.

   SSGT Betancourt one time in the field did not have a way to resupply rations. I drove him there in my AVLB to get them. They were quite surprised when he popped out of the TC hatch in his cook whites.

   Robert. I do believe that I was with the AVLB towing you. I remember SSG Betancourt. The AVLB section would be parked near the kitchen truck in the field. One time I remember  SSG B telling me that he had to get replenishments but his truck was not working. I told him that we could go get it with my AVLB, at first he thought I was joking. When I told him that I was not joking he got a big grin. We had the bridge off so there was plenty of space to load the boxes. He was a funny sight wearing his cook whites and a CVC helmet sitting in the TC seat. The look on the guys that were handing out the food was priceless when we pulled up and out popped SSG B with that big grin.

   I liked the food at Camp Gates. There was a cook with blond hair that was with me on patrol along the Grenze and we picked some musrooms. I do not remember his name or exactly when it was, but in the fall.
