Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Owens Message: To Greg Baker, Greg -- I know exactly what you're talking about when people mix you up for someone else, for 18 Years people mixed me up with Jimmy Owens. I discovered I had a Double when I was in A CO 2ND Ranger Bn and there was another Jimmy Owens assigned to C CO 2ND Ranger Bn at the same time I was there. Every time I transfered to a new unit someone knew him and thought I was him. I was even given his laundry while the 2BN was deployed and of course nothing would fit so supply had to track down my uniforms which were in C CO. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Bob Williams Message: Joel, thanks for the message. I want to go to Reno for the memorial but will be returning from a mission trip in the 9th Ward of New Orleans on June 27. May try to work something out. I never met Pete's wife or daughter; however, during many phone conversations with him, I could hear the toddler in the background making noise and talking to her daddy, too young and innocent to know that daddy was conducting business. Good stuff. |

Seems as if we have had several of the folks from "our era," Dec '69- May '71,recognized as Hall of Famers!!! Makes me even more proud to have been among you fellows! Best wishes to all and 'specially you guys that are "struggling!" I have a "prayer list" that's a mile long, with lots of Ranger Buddies included!
