i didn't remembah that CPT Beech was from Wusstah.

i wasin small town hardwick until 8 y.o. when we moved to maine - then back to Mass. every summer to stay with my relatives. figures he was from there - 'cause he's got that ugly-sexy look going on just like ME. oh yeah. oh and don't forget CPT Rizzo was from Mass too. who else...Riendeau, C company armorer and unaccomplished wpns "magician" - i mean, armorer... was a bunch of new england guys in the BN when i was there. ranger harry leete, scouts. peloquin, mortars?, rhode island.

hey COL Beech, if you're reading this - i have a question for you. What is the effective blast radius of a Kunkler? :-)

You know, I almost forgot that I went and said hello to COL Beech a few years back when I was up at Ft Wainwright for a few weeks.

I was so jealous that he was still a Buffalo...and now I find out from your website (SGT) 1LT Lewis, one of the old medic's is a Buffalo.

At least the 17th is my RDI for life.

I also exchanged and email with LTC's Rizzo, Lissner, Evans, and Huelfer last year. And I'm actually pretty close to IUPUI, where LTC Powers is the PMS.

I had to go to a recruiting course at Ft Jackson almost a year ago and didn't realize that LTC's Rizzo and Ryan were there or I would've paid both a visit.

Shoot, I forgot to mention that LTC James Howard (PL in Aco and BN Mortars) has been a mentor to me.

Pat,

Haven't talked with LTC Howard yet. Please pass on my information to him. Would love to add him to my Buffalo contact list.

Shook out..
