What happened to Ivan? I always wanted to talk to him, he and I had some unresolved things and I just wanted to clear them up. He was a tough guy to read!

I don't post much but this has broke my heart. Marsha was a kind and beautiful person. When we all were at Black Jr. High she, Rusty Kenedy and I hung out before school. We were never boy friend and girlfriend however we went to several dances together, she was kind and I was the happiest guy on the dance floor! Godspeed sweet lady!

moved to Rancho Cucamonga , CA

My name is Jim Davlin we went to Waltrip at the same time however I don't remember you. We live in the same town Rancho Cucamonga what are the odds LOL

I remember some of you Buzz you had a nice coupe and lived around the corner from me. I remember Johnny Gregg as a stand up guy! I was in Vietnam 1966, 1967-68 and then again in 1971. First tour as a grunt and the next two tours as a Naval Gunfire Forward Observer. I saw a little combat! As far as rules of engagement we never had any problems with figuring out who the bad guys were. Some of you talk about winning wars , but the truth for those of us that were on the ground it was more about staying alive! The politics of war was way above my pay grade! The only people from Waltrip I ever ran into was Bill and Tommy Oaks who were Marines like me but were Amtracers. I have heard all sorts of stories about how people treated Veitnam vets on their return, I never had a problem everyone treated me well, I guess I am fortunate. Some of us never came home and others were there last night!
