CSM (Ret) Dennison
A good story on CSM (Ret) Dennison was in the Fayeteville Observer this morning.

A Most outstanding Man.
One of the best SGMs I had ever served with. A real Man, a real Quiet Professional, and a tremendous example to those around him. With great respect Blitz

Thanks for the article link, Pete.

It sure brought back memories. I served with Joe D twice in the 7th and in Thailand, and we used to get together once in awhile when he was 5th SFG CSM and I was a DET CDR in the 7th SFG to 'discuss' things like COL Guest and such. Joe's 'run in' with Jahnke's blonde Gibbon at Nong Takoo is a classic tale I'll have to tell one day.

Louie Wadlaw was a TMSGT for ODA-746 (IIRC) when I was on Mac's team, ODA-742, and Alsee Richardson was a Black Hat at Ground Branch when I went through the BAC who I saw off and on for some 20 years around Bragg at the GB Parachute Club, etc. Alsee was also on the Golden Knights and the JFK Command Demonstration Team back when.

Thanks for the GOOD memories this morning!

CSM Joe Dennison is an outstanding CSM!

I've known him for over twenty years, he was my first BN CSM (A-1-5 SFG) and he and I went over to Desert Shield/Storm together. Joe D served as the CSM of SOCCENT during that time.

I've got some good CSM Joe D stories...

Joe was the best SGM/CSM I have ever had the pleasure to know and work with. He is one of two reasons I went into SF and seceded. He is one of the best examples of a Quiet Professional.
Every time I hear his name it brings up great memories.

Joe D.
We just had lunch with Joe D. this last week. He's doing well and is still telling lies, especially when ole Alsee Richardson is hanging with him. He has been known to frequent Charlie Mike's Pub every once in a blue moon.

I'll pass on everyones' regards to Joe this week when I talk to him.

Tell him "Purple says hey...and Ginger wants her beret back!"
