A-1-6 > 08MR-08: Joe Gamache, of Rhode Island, is a regular at both the October and the June reunions. Gamache was a cook, and thus was in HQ. Alan Allen is on his electric scooter. The agave plants in the rear are used to make tequila, but Allen has not perfected the process as of yet.

A-1-6 > 08MR-09: Harry Thompson, TX, was Company Clerk for Alpha Company. He can't pick or grin, so he's taken up whittlin'. Here he's working on a piece of ashe juniper, or "cedar" as it's called in the Texas Hill Country.

A-1-6 > 08MR-10: Terry Buelow, IA, and his wife, Terri, drove down for the reunion at Alan Allen's house--which now is set for the 3rd weekend each October. Harry Thompson still is whittlin' in the rear of the photo.
