Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Al Parten Message: Steve, yes I do believe we were Jumping in from training at 29 Palms. There was another ranger killed on the same jump. His name started with an A. Just can't remember the name. When Mike exited the aircraft somehow the static line was missed by the JM and they collided outside the plane both static lines snapped and they fell from there. Sad story, Sanders, Metternich, and I went to Spanky's all the time to eat chiken fingers and spuds. Well maybe a few beers too. It was really hard to jump right after that. Seems like we went right back up a few days later for another jump just to get everyones mind back into gear. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Mark, go to the Ranger Memorial Site online. Look me up....use Mattison on the input, and nothing else. The stone I bought many years ago when they were first starting with that monument and needed support, will show up in a little picture window. Take a look at it, and see if it's something that would be appropriate for what you're trying to do. If you can't find his 1/75 time, don't worry about it. He was a Ranger Instructor with 2nd Ranger Co., and that counts as well. You can pretty much have whatever you want on the stone that would be appropriate. Use your best judgement, and I support you. Sherry Klein by the way is the Editor and Publisher of the Monuments on Line Editorials. Ask her for help if you need it. |
