Geldres, Dwight Baker here. You were my gunner for a short period. I was in Vicenza from 1980-82. Lt. Zandy was Plt Leader. Whatever happened to Sgt George Syty,Waldvogel, Hyde. Hope life has been kind to you. Happy New Years'.

Moved from B 3-4 after Grenada in 84 to CSC 4/325.  Roomed with Roberts; others in section (Geldres, Deamer, Crosby, Strong, Good, etc..)  Nuk"em" Needham was at the reigns, Demetrius Brown was 1SG of CSC and it was the best tour of all! In 82 when I got to Bragg I was Luciers driver and he had just rotated back from the REDEYE section with 509th.  "Life is Good"

Can't help you with the 80's, but I was there 74-77. I was assigned to HHC and was the senior medic for Alpha Company.

I think it would help if when one does come across this website,if they would leave any contact info so we can keep in touch by other means ie. phone# email,fb,tweeter etc there is a facebook page for the 1st 509th (ABCT) Vicenza,Italy and there are many old 09er"s on fb.I have found Caudle,Loveless,Hutchings,Andrews,Charlie Brown,Cameron Materson, and many more Ranger Olowin, This web page has been a great place to find  people but is very limited as compaired to fb.
I'm still lookin for sgt ken Balue,sgt Basaia,sgt bufkin,sgt mashack,sgt kwan,saywer,kincaid,Dan ruby,Jim Brophy,Tony Frey,
Steve Durst,sgt Monkhouse,Parker,Britt,all these guys would have been there in the 80's My #1-740-345-5122 I'm on fb

I would love to know if these guys are still alive.    Stygie

I got to Vicenza in 1984 just as the 09 was folding its colours - Needham was still there and his batt runs always dogging out D batt. LOL!  I was in Bco.  with Capt. Pritchet, 1st Sgt Duke, Sgt Delph, Sgt Dollota, Sgt Burns, Ssg Patterson, Vimini, Murph Steen, Toby Lucas, Mike Trombone, Gidney, Higginbothom, Neeley, Ken Black, Adams, Minney.  Great times at Asiago, Pasubio, Marcesna, Graffenvia, Hohensfelds, Njimegan . . . really miss those days, it was a great unit


falconboy - i got there the same time as you. i was assigned to Cco. (total Cherry!!!) any one else out there from 4/325? how about the last geronimo football team?
