Then assigned to Bn S-3 and eventually as CO of Hdqt. Co. This picture was taken on Hwy 1 just North of that famous An Ton bridge. Gail being my CO at Hdqt Co. was personally picking me up taking us to LZ Bayonet since we were both heading home in a few days. Gail and I knew each other at Ft. Benning during OCS, lived in the same BOQ at Hood, competed during training at Hood as to who had the best infantry Plt. Gail and the other dozens of Lts. that came out of Benning's 70th Co. school of boys to join the Regulars of the 1/6 Inf were a great bunch of men. Other photos on this site show how few severed the whole year. Gail and I ended up sharing an apt. and going back to college in Marin County, Ca. We shared some buiness experiences and became members of a great bunch of guys known as the "Shit Bums Club", Gail was in my wedding and together he helped me through some Nam things that we all know about. Gail presently lives in Iowa where he was born and grew up. He is married to a great gal named Carol and has daughter named Nichole.
