Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Ross Hall Message: Mike Flack, that was a great story. Joe M and Joe N, I would appreciate a copy of that '58 photo. An update on my project. The book will be called Mountain Ranger. Am gathering intel as fast as possible, and this forum is a gold mine. Now have interviews from all eras, some more than others. The hardest to get will be from current RIs and command staff. It is about time for photos, so if anybody has something they want to share, let me know. I am committed to making this project as complete as possible within the confines of a single volume. Most of it will be voices, the best natural portrayal by my reckoning. This is a real pleasure for me, and if I do it right, maybe it will be for you, too. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: OWENS Message: BILL BREEN--- Yes this is the same Capt Howard you are referring to--, He was the Company Commander of A Co 2Bn 75th INF, he left there going to MRC, he was selected and promoted to Major at MRC, he later retired as an 0-6. I worked for him many ears, this man was as hard as wood pecker lips, he always put the mission first, but was the first to qustion authority when it came to his men needing anything or their safety. I would have followed this RANGER to hell and back if he said we had a mission there. Capt Howard only expected one thing from his men --- "Do your best always". jim |
