Yes I was there in the very beginning, when we moved the 509th from Mainze to Vicenza in 1973. I was on the first fight down, I was in HHQ at the time, Bn Maint. It was a experience, that I will never forget. I would love to hear from anyone from that time period. You can email me  [email protected]  Name is William (TOM) Nolen. feel free to write.

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.

Edi636,
 
Do you remember John Doolittle.  I talked with him about 5 years ago.  He is a lawyer with the Dept of Justice.  Good man.  I was trying to think of some of the other guys names in HQ with you guys.  Doo, Killeen, and Carey and I went to jump school together and come to Italy together.  They were in A co.  I live 25 miles north of Ft Benning right now.  Crazy.

I was there from 82 to 86 when we rotated back to bragg. At first was assigned to A co but spent most of my time in Bravo 1st plt. SFC gower was replaced by SFC Gutierrez. SSG Shelton,SSG Wallace,SSG Jones and all the others. Also worked for SGT Pena and Holywood. I have been in touch with CSM Gower RET on facebook. What ever happened to 1SG Duke and that DB bunny ??? Anyone knew SSG Crain?? He had died back in 93 on a training accident with SF. SGT Kranz and Hooper who married the girl from Jonny's??? SSG Hunter.
