Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Greg Baker Message: To 1SG (Retired) Greg Baker: For 15 years (at least) people have been confusing me for you, and you for me. Now you're doing it, too! That's my name on the roster. You gotta join up, official like. I'm the younger better lookin' feller, that took a break from the army and worked with Ramsey and Garcia at the sheriffs office for a while, so I don't know what the mix up is. Congratulations on yer retirement. I get back from Iraq in a couple of weeks, then I aint too far behind you. |
Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joel Cleary Message: Bob, Was asked to verify who you were across the street and gladly did so. I was unaware you knew Pete and you and him had history together, or that he hosted the site at one time. A buddy of mine now owns both it and the store. Went to Reno 2 years ago, as Pete's health was failing. Pete wanted to make sure the site (ar.com) and the store (Ranger quartermaster) were both left in good hands and it was. Spent time with Pete, Marie, Pete's mom and daughter. Marie was a Godsend and was an absolute angel to Pete. She is a critical care nurse and I am firmly convinced it is because of her and her care of Pete that he was able to be around to enjoy many more days than he would have been able without her. There will also be a memorial service for Pete in June. Several Rangers including Russ Bryant will be there as well. Contact info will be heading your way. Any other questions, just let me know. e-mail attached is current. RLTW, JC |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Willard Langdon Message: I was in attendance today as Ranger Earl Singletary was inducted into the Ranger Hall of Fame for his distinguished service to our country. Even though he wore portable oxygen, he gave a touching speech. Afterwards, at Michelle's brother's house in Columbus, a reception was held in Earl's honor, complete with plenty of food and a camouflaged cake. Earl and Michelle had a happy and rewarding day, and I'm glad I could share in it. RLTW |
