I know of some of the names on your list, but do not have contact with any of them anymore. I was on A235 and opened a camp not to far from Bu Prang in 1966. We were under B23.

Al, If you mean Fred Zabitosky, who won the MOH in SOG, he died a few years ago.

Al from Bob Tamashunas Hope all is well. It's been awhile but I'm doing fine. Married to a great woman for 38 years. Two children and Three Grandchildren.
Retired and live in New Jersey about 90 miles south of New York where I worked for 38 years. My son went to Georgetown, so I was in D.C. several times but never went to the wall. Take care.

Al, glad to see at least you, Bob Tamashunas and myself still around and kicking. I was just looking at the team picture we took in NaTrang. Its hard to believe we're grandfathers. I'm still married to the same woman (Marge) for 52 years now. I would be glad to have a possible reunion at sometime. Lets see what we can do. I'm sure some of the other members of the team are still around.
