I went to jump school with Ric...his brother was SF, too, as I recall...Cantu went to Berlin after OCS (he was finishing IOBC when Richard and I started) and wound up dating the daughter of Schoenenburg or one of the other fiefdoms...last time I saw him was at Bragg around 90-91...I think he was in SOSOC...

Rick and I knew each other in SFTG - Thailand - Tolz - OCS/IOBC - we were FAOs together in Europe and Rick was in Berlin 90-91 when I was at the AmEmbassy-Bonn - last time I saw him was FAO Conference at Chiemsee in Spring '91.
Those were the days...

Vaclav Havel
Were any of you guys around Bad Tolz late 70's/early 80's when Vaclav Havel was drawing "The Meeting", the initial meeting between an SFODA and the auxilliary?
I have the prints, and everyone identified who was in the original drawing.
As soon as I can shrink the darn powerpoint slide to within the parameters to post on here, I will.

Bill,
I got a copy of that for a plaque when I left 053 in '88. I would like to have the names of those pictured. If you could send them to my email I would appreciate it.

I took the photograph that Havel used for the drawing. I never got a copy of the drawing but I have quite a few other drawings of his.
He was my Czech instructor as well. Good man!
