Yep ... was there a couple of times actually, the second time with COHORT.  Am a member of the Facebook page.  Yep, played ball for SFC Meat as a Geronimo, served under Nuke'm, the whole nine yards.  Just spoke with Meat the other day as a matter of fact, and regularly stay in touch with Ike Jackson, et al.

Whytey3, 

Thanks for the info on Johnnies.  That's a shame.  Lot of memories there.  We haven't been able to make it over there but one day I hope.  Don't understand how Johnnies couldn't make it.  I thought Sonia married a GI and would keep it going.  Guess she split and Pasqualie is probably dead now.  Pamela too.  Bet that was a good trip going back though.  I am trying to hook up with everybody on facebook 509th  81-84.  Check it out.  

Later. Caudle.

One of my old buddies, Rick Goode, is still over there working twenty years later ... head landscaper or something like that.

Was her name Sophie or Sonya?  I can't remember?  I remember a few fights with the legs down there - but the old man, Pasqualle was his name, he was always a good guy.  His daughter though, she had this big hairy mole like a conjoined twin - I wonder if she ever got that thing removed?  She was a true ten beer babe but it was amazing how many drunk as $#!+ troops would hit on her.  But she was a sweetheart.

Oh man this thread has brought back some memories.

Everyone should join the facebook page.  We've got one for COHORT over there as well.

Ms. Rosanna,
 
Thank you for replying. I am sorry to here about your husband Roger. As mentioned in my previous post, I was in the "09 from 74-77. I was the senior medic for "A" Company and assigned to HHC. You might remember one of these 3 medics that was attached to "B" Company - Davey Hare, Larry Hewitt or William Jackson ( Billy Jack).
 
Thanks for the reply - Doc Rob
