To : " The Team Sergeant, "

Sorry once again " Ambush Master " as I said your last name came to me today and I looked it up in " The Directory, " although I recall that you were frequently mentioned in correspondence that I had over the years with Howard Sugar.
To all " The Fort Bragg People " out there, some names may come up: Hope some of you know a guy I went through Training Group with and served with me at CCC Recon at Kontum. He had previously served with the 3rd Brigade of the " Eighty Deuce " at Camp Eagle in '65 and was at CCC with RT New Mexico. Although I missed him at the 50th SF Reunion at Fayetteville, was told he was still around the area possibly with the military but now in a civilian capacity.
Any news on "Larry Purvis" you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Possible retirement info on another "SOG Guy," To my old one-zero who kept us alive through all those months when I was on your second team, I know you wish many times you had "Larry Kramer" back from you first " West Virginia SOG Team " in 1968 as your (1-1), "Ronnie Knight, " I know your still out there somewhere. Hope you haven't moved to South Carolina as we discussed at the 50th SF Reunion when I saw you last.
Recent losses also tough: Donald " Ranger " Melvin from Pete Nimsy's old RT Virginia ( he was runnig recon at age 48 as I remember!!!! ) The target they were in was so dry if I remember correctly that they radioed back in and asked if they could drink their IV's.
Billy Greenwood 1st Shirt on recon company at Kontum, He had been fired up as member of an " A Team " down in the Delta many years before and was never quite the same after that.
Lamar Parker " Just one peach of a fellow; and Charles Wesley your heroism is well documented for all to read; what more can I say, we'll miss you all.
Well, that's it for now, I believe I've drunk enough beer and said far too much tonigt.
