Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Brian Cunningham Message: Ross: The memory was triggered because of something I saw in one of Joe's messages. I haven't thought about it in years. When I was writing about it this morning I surprized myself by how much I could recall. Trigger a memory and it all comes flooding back. Everyone involved in the recovery got really bummed-out that day. A funk came over the camp that made it difficult for all involved to get through it and get on with our training mission. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Earl, thanks for the phone number. I tried, but was only able to leave a message. I will try again later. Thanks again for going out of your way, and checking up on him. A long time ago...about 11 (or so) years ago, he was the SGM of the ROTC Department, Univ. of Tn....and he had me come up there, and give a "motivational speech" to his cadets. I guess that most of them would be Majors right about now....That was the last time that I remember seeing Ranger Jack Daniels, and like I said before, I really didn't know him that well, but he seems like quite a man. I think that he will do well. I'll try calling him later. Sardines and Stump Water sounds good. Maybe Mr Bruce will show up and bring something to add to that Stump Water? Thanks Earl....Joe |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Hi Ted, It's been a long time. Glad to see your doing ok. Give Cheri a big hug for us and tell her we said hi. Man, it's good to hear from you. It's been a few years since we used to "skate" CJs up on the TVD with the old 31 Staff. Take care....Joe |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Steve, It sounds like you had a productive TDY trip to the "originals" 75th Ranger Battalion get together. Glad that you had a good time. Sherry has a USMRA Coin, and she also responded when getting back home about how pretty it was a "quote". Take care Steve...and oh by the way...you are a Life Member of the US Army Ranger Association as I type this per your request. I received confirmation of the paperwork...wait about 30 days or so...and you should get all of it in the mail. Take care Ranger Hawk....Joe |
