Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Willard Langdon Message: I was blessed to have served with Col. Scruggs at Camp FDM when he was a Captain. Later on, he was my son in law's Commander in 7th SF at Fort Bragg. He was one of the finest Ranger officers I've ever met. He had a special gift; he was calm & pleasant, and highly intelligent. He set the example for all of us, he will be missed by everyone who knew & served with him. |

I appreciate 1/ SG Joel Cleary for keeping us updated. He has been in contact with the head nurse. Please continue praying for Col Waters. Willard |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: To Doug and Rice: Uh,,,to begin, let me say that Walt Sutton died a number of years ago. I'm not sure of exactly when he died, but I know that he's buried at the Baptist Church Cemetary on the corner of Rock House Road and the road that goes up to frog town....sorry, I'm losing my memory also...Tell me more about Pappy Hudson, then I want you to tell me more about Stafford. Both of these Rangers have been on the periphery of Camp Merrill History for far too long. Frank Moore was a great SGM of mine, and to tell you the truth, I never had a SGM/CSM as good as him for the rest of the time I served on active duty. I can tell you later why that was, but he was the reason why I reported to the Mountain Ranger Camp in Sept. 1979. He made that happen for me, and I'll forever be in his debt!! Please, more on Pappy Hudson...I never really knew who it was that I was dumping cremated remains on....that day, but I've always wondered,....and I'd love to know more about him. I was the last Ranger he saw, and I didn't even know him. Who was he?.....thanks Rangers....Joe |
