| This is John Lerchen at LZ Baldy around November, 1969. . He was one of the people we picked up about the first of September or just a little later.� We had taken a lot of casualities in August and they must have been frantic to find enough warm bodies to fill us back up to strength.� A number of MPs from Danang were sent out to us.� John had only a few months left in country when he joined us.� They were all pretty hot about it too. As short as they were the last thing he wanted was to join a rifle company back in the bush again.� I guess he got home ok, the last I saw of him was at Baldy and he was getting real short. May 10, 2001. Just made contact with John. He now lives in Antioch, TN. |

| This was taken at Hotel Battery the day we got there.� Ray Rankin sent me this picture.� From the front, left we have Tony Poole, and Roary Walsh.� In the back are Terry Oldham, William Gravelle, and David Dinehart.� Dinehart was shot August 12th, Gravelle and Walsh were wounded August 26th and 29th.� Tony Poole was wounded August 26th. I think that William Gravelle was getting quite short when he was wounded. When I returned from the 2000 reunion I was very pleseantly suprised to find that I had an email from Tony Poole.� Terry Oldham was sent to the rear in September when he got short. January 11, 2001.� Just got off the phone with Bill Gravelle.� He lives in Miami and works as a fireman.� He seems to have done well with his life since Vietnam.� |
