Jim,

I think we were on the same team during my second tour with the 8th. I remember you being married to a Panamaian girl. Two other team members that I remember were Jim Phillips and Ron Kessler, both medics. Don't remember the others.

Malcomb,

I remember George Klein. He and I were close. We left the army at the same. I remember saying good-bye to him at Fort Jackson. It was a sad day. I wrote to him soon after that, but never got a reply. He lived Hicksville, New York I think. Do you remember me? My name is Rafael Sanchez but I use to go by Ralph.

Rafael,

Good to see you made it.

[anhrafael]

Don,

Yes I finally made it. I'm having a great time looking up all the people's names. I hope everything is going well. I'll call you next week.
