Coyote,
I am saddened to have to relay such bad news through such an impersonal means . . .
* * *
John Yancey (whom we affectionately nicknamed "Robert Redford") was a sniper range victim of a horrible accident and died on the way to Womack. . . pronounced DOA.

I can't recall the exact date - in the 1978-79 time frame.
He was a good soldier, a fine friend, and is missed to this very day. . .

Until that time. . . EarlJ.

Coyote,
My name is Jim Ruddy. I was on ODA 314 in the 70's at Ft. Devens. Big Cpt. Karwan was team Co. and MSG Ken Carpenter was the team SGT.

Coyote > COLFLESH Samuel Foy here, ODA 334 circa 1973 - 1978. I shall pass your message to those I know from the era, Guy Johnson comes to mind and some others. Perhaps this will help. > Regards Samuel
