Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: As I was reviewing this years Hall of Fame Inductees, I came across the name and photo of Frank Moore, SGM (R) Ranger. He was my SGM at NWTC, Ft Greeley, Alaska. Does anyone know where he is now and what he's doing? Thanks...Joe |

Be it as it may....so be it, and to hell with anyone who wants to make Ranger Business an 8-5 job with all kinds of "who gives a shit policies" to cover that dead beat asses!! Only a real Ranger would understand what I just typed...sorry webmaster...I just blew a whole bunch of "politically correct" rules, perhaps next time...I'll be better...Love ya Rangers...always have..from the very bottom of my heart...Joe |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Mark Jordan Message: ...moi? expat??...I was just sorta getting used to the idea of being "recognized" by Joe Mattison as "Mark"...hahaha... ...being in Sisal, Yucatan, Mexico is as peaceful and tranquil as Mayberry was in the 50´s...always...every day...every night...every moment...a cooling breeze blows off the Gulf of Mexico, warm as bath water, during the day and the land breeze comes at night...the food is as fresh as seafood can get and there´s no crime, in the least... ...maybe time to have a Ranger get together just to see if there´s a pulse to this patient... ...my pension goes further...very much further, especially when they don´t charge me gringo prices...and it´s obvious I´m not a local...being a foot taller and having a long white beard...so as each day comes and goes, I relax even more to having Sisal as a home for a long time...eventually to actually just build a cabana out into the Gulf about 200 yards, only needing a roof for the sun, and a small boat to get to shore...the depth would probably be about 10´ if I ever got out that far...so far, 100 yards out is up to my beltline... ...when gas went to $2/gallon the first time I smelt a skunk...also when duct tape got its 15 minutes of fame...when gas went to $4/gallon I knew we were being treated like boiling frogs...how much could we take before it was too much and anarchy ruled...so...when gas again got to $2 and no one really said or acted as if it were again the ministrations of greed, it was time for me to do what I´ve done since the first price gouging... ...I looked for relief...philippines is probably even better since we earn 9 times their per capita income, but the yucatan is 4 hours from the TVD...and Sonny already knows where my heart is...up with the men who have always stood in the gaps...the Mountain Rangers... Good things to all...and to all a good night...ho ho ho... |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: C.PILAND Message: HI CATHY, THIS IS SGT. PILAND OR CHRIS. I READ YOUR MESSAGE ON THE POSTING ABOUT THE RANGER THAT WAS INJURED ON THE ELECTRIC WIRE. HIS LAST NAME WAS “PACE”. I KNOW DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POLE WHEN IT HAPPENED. HIS WOUNDS WERE A LOT WORSE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. THE ELECTRICITY ENTERED THRU HIS HAND AND BLEW OUT THE INNER PART OF HIS THIGH. IF MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY IT WAS GARRET FARMS DZ. I KNOW IT HAD A CREEK THAT RAN THRU THE MIDDLE OF IT AND I WAS TASKED OUT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH OTHER RANGERS TO BLOW THE BEAVER DAM THAT THE BEAVERS WOULD BUILD AND FLOOD OUR DZ. I KNOW PACE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR SOME TIME AND YES IT DID END HIS CAREER. |
