 Yes I would like to see the pics. I do remember them getting hurt jumping back in. Did you get the pics I sent to you. My e-mail is [email protected] . I left the 09 in early 1980 and went to Bragg until I got out in 1981.

Yes I did. and the faces are coming back! Did you get the ones I sent you! I had actually seen them collide after they came out of the C130! They separated and then one was unconscious and the other was stun. By the time Buccan started toget his stuff together a new guy name Perz was fucking around with his chute and drove buccan into Dumage who started to wake up. When they crached into each other buccan was in the lines of Dumage and that made dumage chute collaps and buccans chute was already colllapsing from the air that was taken away from Dumage's chute. Buccan was a hear higher than dumage and this happen so fast and I was so close; I thought I could reach out and grab them. Infact I did try before trying to race to the ground. This was in slow motion and thats hoe I think about it all the time. When you went to get your Belgium wings was it in Augs of 78? We jumped French chute when I went in 78. I felt my stomach in my thoat. Do you remeber any of those guys I sent you?

I also recognize many in your pics. You must be the one that stands out the most. I resized your pics and put them as individuals pics. I would like to e-mail them back to you as such and see if you could put names on them? The one's you had together as Graf; I separated them and renamed them as Graf 1, Graf 2, Graf 3, Graf 4. I did the same with the others. If you can not place the names on the photes themselves; then Graf 1 = Name will do, and I'll place the names. I will sent them back with names if you like. I'll sent them out asap, I am taking care of my mother; she has Alzhiemers, so I have to be by her side 24-7. I don't know how I got hold of those pics, but I got them. I got hold of a person named Tim Culp, do you know him? He passed a pic to me and I think he is willing to let me pass it on. First I should ask his permission and then I will forward it. The guy Tishnor I know also. He was from A Co. And I know I met that Greek guy but can't place him on my mind.

 I do remember you sgt greek, I believe I have a photo of you in Sardinia, if I am thinking of the right one. Remember being at the water with our boots off cooling down. Easy mac, the name sounds familiar, I have pics if you both would send me an e-mail at [email protected] . I am trying to figure out the names for the pics I have been pulling out old papers from back then to try to match the names up. Any help would be appreciated.
