More detail on this person: He was with 191 AHC from Mar 1968 until Mar 1969, was initially a Bounty Hunter and ended up Bounty Hunter platoon leader when Little John was KIA, then was Boomerang 3 somewhere in the Oct Nov time frame 1968 and derosed in Mar 1969. We were good friends and he visited me at Bragg and I did the same at Benning. Last time I saw him was passing thru Columbus after Cobra school enroute back to RVN and he said he would be right behind me. Lost track of him and was very surprised when I learned that he had passed away a few years back.
