This is for Keith Shellkase regarding the location of

Ramasun was 20km south of Udorn. Sun set behind the

I have recently

Nice to hear from the 83rd! It, along with the other assignments,

Thanks for the opportunity to scan through some of the old sites and

Just
came back to "revisit". It's a great site and
have been able to reconnect
with a couple of guys I spent a lot of time with back in
the good old days. I was there Aug 31, 1966 (it was
payday) through Feb 1968. Worked in the personnel shop
w/Tom Bray and his predecessor SFC Bell. CW4 Harley I.
Tollefson, then CW2
Murry. Both great men.
Thanks for your efforts. They have affected a lot of
people - in a good way!

Hi
guys, I love Richard's website,
altho I never went to
Thailand. My older
brother, Rich, also an ASA-er,
made several visits there over the years though. I
served in Sinop and
Rothwesten as a
ditty-bopper. My book, Soldier Boy: At Play in the ASA,
documents my ASA hitch (62-65) at FLW,
Devens, Meade, and overseas.
Take a peek at www.rathole.com/soldierboy
. My e-mail is reedcityboy@net-port.com
. Would love to hear from you.

I have
been to your site before (a couple of years ago) and
just came back today. Thanks for the job you are doing
on this. I see from the list of personnel by year that I
am listed from 1964 to 1970. I was actually at the 83rd
from 1969 to 1970, then
transferred up to Udorn, the
5th, in 1970-71. If you are interested, I could dig
through my files and see if I have any additional names.
I see that there are two Barkleys
on the list, but the one I served with (1969-71), Gene,
is not one of them. Once again, thanks.

Nice
Site! Was stationed at 5th RRU,
Seri Court from Sept 1962 to
Aug 3, 1964. I remember Gary Kay, Ted
Sides(from Georgia), Roger Redmond, Herb
Hoebleheinrich(from Minnesota), getting drunk at Susie's bar
and her chasing me down at the end of the month to pay
my tab!!! I was an 058.30
dittybopper, rank of Spec 5 when I left, I can
remember the night when President Kennedy was killed,
was getting on the bus at Seri Court, Sgt ?
told us as we got on the bus.
would love to hear from some
of the oldtimers that were
there when I was! Bill Rogers

Wow!
did this site bring back
memories. I arrived at the 5th RRU in
dec 1962 and left on July
1965. Was a 286A intercept
equiptment repairman. Spent
1963 in Chieng Mai &
Ubon, then 18 months in
Bangkok.I had such a good
time that I extended my enlistment. When I moved here
from NY three years ago after living in the same house
for 30 years Ifound lots of
5th RRU stuff. I will have to dig it out again and get
some pictures on this web site. I am now retired near
grandchildren near
Seattle. If anyone thinks they
might remember me comes through or lives near by, I
would love to buy them a Singha
and exchange lies.

I was
station at the 5th RRU from Jul 64 to Oct 66.
Congradulations on your web
page, it is a great one and information on it brings
back a lot of good memories.
I remember one funny incident that
happen when I was there that no one has mentioned
yet.
The LTC (Miller ??) who took
over command from LTC Lum
was in command when this incident happened.
Some general up the chain of command came up with the
policy that if anyone asked you if you could do
something, you were suppose to answer "CAN DO, Sir". LTC
Miller like it so well that he instructed everyone in
his command to answer questions with can do, sir.
A lot of troops though that it was
rediculous and protested it by writing "cando"
everywhere they could. This made the LTC mad, and he put
out the word that anyone caught defacing
goverment property with the
word "cando" would be
delt with
severily.
This made a lot of troops madder, so they came up with
there own plan. They reversed the spelling to "ODNAC",
bought a goat, and sold shares in the goat. They had
some cerfitcates printed up
professionaly (very good
quality, looked like bank certificates) that said words
to the effect, this is one
share in ODNAC and sold them. On the shares they wrote
an agreement that said something like this: This is one
share in ODNAC, don't be an
ass and whine, sell this and get your dime like I got
mine.
They had the goat at Seri-Court until someone got an
idea that they should take it to the operations
compound. Some how it got in the operations room and
they were ordered to get rid of the goat which they did.
They then build a huge kite and named it "ODNAC". It was
approximately 10 feet wide and 15 feet long. They
decided to lanuched it at
Seri-Court.
They had one man on each level of the operations
building to pass the kite string (small rope) up to the
top of the building. They launched it by pulling it down
the street from the basketball/tennis court to the front
of the operations building. They passed the control rope
from floor to floor until they had it on the roof. They
rigged a teletype motor up to wind the rope in and pull
the kite down.
Murphy's law took over when the kite was out over Pratipat Road
(not sure on the spelling). It is the road that Seri-Cour
lane intersected with when you exited Seri-Court. They
tried to wind it in and the rope broke. They said it
came down on Pratipat Road
and caused a taxi drive to wreck his cab.
Needless to say, that was the end of "ODNAC".

I just
stumbled on this site. I was at 83rd 1969-1970, leaving
when TDY'd to 7th in Sept,
1970. Played on volleyball, softball, and football teams
in 1970. Would love to hear from anyone who might
remember me. Have already made contact with 1 since
yesterday. Tried to contact Gene Eakins, but address
came back as incorrect. Oh, when I worked, was an
05H2LGM(German Linguist
ditty-bopper).

commanded the 83rd 1966-68 and this was the first time
he has seen the page. Great memories and clearly a lot
of work put in by the former members of this great unit

I just
stumbled across this web site, and it's extraordinary. I
was at Seri Court
around 1969-70. This site brings back a flood of
memories.
There are two more alumni I'd like to add. John
Thibodeau and Ivan
Shevchenko served at that same time. Ivan, John, Dave
Venie, Mark Stuart, Bill
Neville and I then headed up to
Udorn. Ivan also did some duty in
Ubon.
A big "hello" to all the guys who shared this unique
experience!

surfing Thursday night, and found some ASA sites which
pointed to others. My name is already on your list.
Turned in by a mutual buddy, Mark Woods. Just browsing
your site tonight, lots more than I initially realized.
Keep up the good work. I will see if I can dig up some
of my Chaing Mai
pics to submit. That is
where I was stationed from 63 into 65.

I was
stationed at the 5th RRU, 64-65. I was a trick chief in
the comm center. Made Sgt
E-5, and left the army, Labor day weekend, at the
Oakland Army terminal.
I took my wife on a three week trip to the far east and Australia,
in 1999. Finding
Seri Court, while in
Bangkok. I found one of the house
boys, and he got me in touch with my house boy, Sui
Chin. He remembered me and my room mate Don Cole, my
other "Band of Brothers". Garry
Eakes, Gerry Lanzinger,
and David Bosco, Sp4 when I
knew him, retired Major. I have some great pictures of
Sui chin, that I will try to
get on to the web site. We also have some great
pictures, when we played basketball,
and softball for the great 5th RRU. We won the military
Bangkok Championship, the winter of 1965. CWO Harley
Tollefson was coach, and
like a father to everyone on that team.
Will try to get pictures on web site somehow.

I was
an 18year old Australian Army Serviceman attached to the
RAAF(Royal Australian Air
Force) at Ubon in February
and March 1968. I was introduced to these US Army blokes
in Ubon. They were
Det J as I was to find out.
What a great time I had with these guys. At 18 I didn't
really know very much, I was like most guys my age full
of bull and bravado. It was a wonderful experience for
me and one that I have never forgotten.
The only names that I can recall from those days were
Robert Georgi whose name I
see in your pages. The other was a
fella by the name of Alexander, whether that was
his last or first name I can't be sure. But everyone
called him "Axe".
I enjoy your site and have earmarked it for a return
journey.
Regards
Steve

Great
to find so many memories. I was in
Bangkok
and passed through the 83rd on my way upcountry to the
7th RRFS, where I remained for about six months.
THis was in 1967. I was
uo there working with Don
Draper, a legend in the Lao linguists world for his
skills, his ability to drink and the fact that he had
been in country far longer than anyone else and probably
longer than was good for the Army. Thanks for the site.

Thanks
for the write up - but two things, first I was never
stationed at the 3rd RRU. I'm glad my writing gave you
the impression I had, but no, sorry. Second, I want as
many men who were in ASA and the 5th to have a copy of
my book, therefore, I am giving it to them for $15,00
(ten for book and five for shipping - I ship Priority
Mail.) Hang in there, guys.

Was
stationed at the 83rd in 1970 to Closing. Was there when
the 83rd closed down. Was at the time called operation
Sinking Ship for the closing of the 83rd, but the Major
who came up with name was forced to change the name by
the folks in
Hawaii, since it showed
disrecpect they felt to the
Navy. Just a bit of trivia from the past. You have a
great web site and do a fine service. Brings back a lot
of memories.

Udon
Thani or Udorn 7th

bopper. We lived in the tents and worked out of the vans
when I got there but in around a month got to move into
new barracks and new comm
center. Really loved Thailand. Really great site,
enjoyed the morse code
page , it brought back
memories.If anyone would
kinda remember me drop me an

I
didn't know that their was a
site for the 83rd. I was stationed there from Dec.66 to
Oct. 67. I was separated in Bangkok, thanks to Lt. Col.
Rovegno, and returned to
Japan
and got married to a Japanese beauty, and still am after
36 years. I have three children and a brand new
granddaughter. I do have a few pictures if you would
like me to send them? Joe Miller

Love
this site. Wish I had run across it a lot earlier.
I was an O5H20 in
Bangkok
from 1966-1968. Del Wright was my trick chief. (What a
guy) I spent a lot of time in Klub
Kee Meow playing cards and
hanging out at "Jack's" American Star Bar. I would love
to hear from any of those guys (Jim Curry,
Sam(Bird)Johnson,Stokley,
James Garbett, Pete
Marcias,
Aguillar, others. Anyone out
there serve at Homestead AFB,
FLA, in 1968, I'm trying to locate a old good friend
(Charles Swift), he served with me at
Homestead. We shipped out at the
same time, I went to the 177th in Korea and he went to Ankara, Turkey.

I was
the NCOIC MM in Udorn in
1969-1970 This is a great site, really brings back
memories. I saw another site of the 7th RRFS with photos
approx 1999. The jungle had taken over the FLR-9,
you could barely see the antennas above the trees.
Opns building was falling
down with water dripping from the ceilings and
everything in a state of disrepair. It was really
heartbreaking to see. I can't remember the website at
present but if I locate it again I will pass it on.

My name
is Brian Alpert and I was in the Army Security Agency
from 1963-1966. I am trying to find a radio direction
finder named Wayne E. Inman. We went through
Ft.
Devens
training school together and were then both sent to
TUSLOG Det 4 in
Sinop
Turkey
in 1964. Wayne went to Thailand in 1965 and was assigned to the 5th
RRU Det B in
Ubon Thailand.
When the 5th was renamed to the 83rd RRSOU,
Det B was transferred to the
7th RRSOU in Udorn.
to make a long story short I
am trying to get in touch with Wayne
and not Knowing the APO etc for Thailand I
would like to know if he is in your data base and if
there is any present address or e-mail on him.
Regards
Brian Alpert

What a
great site. I was at the 83 RRSOU from 1966-1969. It
sure brings back a lot of memories. Who could forget
Seri Court and the
Klub
Kee Meow. The bus ride
to the op center and that nasty old dog we used to call
"the old man" Feeding the fish in the
klong outside the op center.
What a great 18 months they were. I don't know if you
can add their names but George "GT"
Taylor
was there in 68 and so was Lenny "The Horny
Dinosoar" Carter. You sure
have put a lot into this site and it is
appreciated.The picture of
Col Rovegno was great He
certainly has aged well and still looks great.

Looking
over pictures and roster names. Mine plus picture used
to be in roster? Also Doughterty
SSG is deceased. He died in action during a
mortor attack at the 3rd RRU
in early 1966. He was my last 05H TC before I left the
5th In Aug of 1966. I got there in Aug 1964 as and 05H
and worked two months as 05D towards the end of my tour.
I think the picture I sent you had me holding a small
python. Also Ken Villiger,98c
TA type E-5 should be added to the roster.
He was there in 64 and 65.

I was
stationed with the 5 RRU detachment
at Udorn RTAB from November
1965 until about February 1966. At the time I was an Air
Force linguist on TDY from the 6922nd Security Wing at
Clark A.B.
I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to a photo page on
the detachment at
Udorn?
Cheers,
Jim

I've
received a reply to the e-mail I sent to Warren Nobles
account a few days ago. My e-mail was exactly the same
as my comment here a few days ago regarding the death of
Warren. His daughter replied:
"Dear Mr. Peterson,
This is Warren's
daughter, Mary. I'll be cancelling his e-mail account
shortly, but I wanted to check all the mail just in case
there were still people who hadn't heard of his passing.
It is very hard for me to delete this account because
somehow it makes me feel connected to dad because there
are so many people with so many stories about dad. It
helps to keep his memory alive within me. On behalf of
my mom, Alma, and I, thank you for the story that you
shared to be posted on the website you mentioned. It was
a little peice of trivia on
my dad that I never knew (I guess he didn't either).
Best wishes to you and your family.
Sincerely, Mary Noble"

As you
likely already know MSG Warren Noble recently died. Here
are some thoughts I had
a couple days ago prompted by a letter from Ron Coleman.
Warren Noble. I didn't know him well and really
only had three contacts with him. First was when I
missed courier detail
because Rick Kovacs came in at 2 am and changed our
alarm clock to the
time he needed to get up. I'd already set it to the
earlier time I needed.
MSG Noble punished me by making me clear brush from
along side the
operations compound access road. He asked me after a
couple hours if
I'd learned anything from this experience. I said, "Yes,
I won't stay in
the Army."
The second time was not really a face to face. It was
when he had the swing
shifters stand in formation in the tennis court for an
inspection. I quickly placed
my big speakers pointing toward the windows, cranked my
Sansui amp up, and played
the US National Anthem. (That wasn't allowed due to the
"status of forces"
agreement we had with the Thai government.) (Jim
McNeice was my accomplice.)
Warren,
didn't miss a beat. He had the troops, (can ASA people
be properly be
thought of as troops?) facing my balcony and at "Present
Arms" before the opening
drum roll finished. As soon as the last bar of the music
stopped he dismissed the guys,
and ran up the three flights of stairs to try to catch
whoever it had been.
I pulled the tape, locked it in a drawer, shut off the
Akai, and put
the cover on. Both speakers were quickly moved back from
the window, and by the time he got to
the third floor Jim and I were going down the opposite
stairwell. He didn't have a clue where
the music had come from since he caught no one. I'm
still impressed by how quick he was
getting those guys saluting. I hadn't expected that. I
figured he'd just stand there
like a dummy. I wasn't really worried until I saw the
salute. I knew we'd get our butts in trouble
if we got caught.
The third time was at a Christmas party at the house of
Charlie Owens. We
only said Hi. I don't think he even know who I was. As I
recall he had a charming
wife, and I learned that
Warren
was a nice guy.

Took a
12 day trip from July 4th to the 16th. First went to Manila to have laser surgery done on my
eyes. After three days in Manila
went to Bangkok for five days.
Hung out in
Bangkok
for two days then rented a car and drove into the
Northeast. Visited Khorat
and the surrounding area for the very first time. It was
great to get out of
Bangkok
and see some of the country side. Back to
Bangkok
for another day and then back to
Manila
for my one week check up. Eyes are fine and had a great
time. Next trip to planned to
the Philippines sometime later this
year. Not sure if
Thailand
will be in the plan.

Really
great site. Most of content is after my time (Feb 61 to
Sept 61) but some great pix make memories come back. I'm
living and working in Bangkok for past 30
years so I've seen changes which couldn't believe would
happen but it's still a great city and lots of
expatriates still can't give it up. Would be great to
hear from any 5th RRUP guys during the early 61 to late
61 time. Keep up the good
work. I have some slides of the Soi
Prom Pong house if you're interested. Let me know how to
get them to you by e-mail.

Just
back from my trip to
Thailand
and the P.I. Hung out in
Bangkok
for a couple of days and then went to
Phuket for a day of diving.
Back to Bangkok
for a couple of days then on the
Hua Him for two days. Stayed at the old Colonial
Style hotel, aka the Hua
Hin Railway Hotel. Great
hotel. Rented a car and drove South an
additonal 100 miles or so. Thailand
still is a great place to visit. Then went to the P.I.
for some diving in Sabang.
Had a great trip and will plan on another in the next
six months or so.

Glad to
see your site back on the net. I wondered what happened
to you. I am off to
Thailand
for 16 days beginning May 5th. I will see about taking
some new pictures of some of the places that we all
remember so fondly. I will be in Bangkok,
Phuket, and then rent a
Harley-Davidson and do some touring into the country
side. Should be a good time. I will check in later upon
my return.

Just
took a tour around the site and enjoyed it very much.
Lots of memories come piling
into this old feeble mind but the most vivid one is that
of having a great time with great friends. Looking to
talk to some more of the Bangkok Beggars.

Great
site!! Already found guys I know. At the 83rd from March
of 69 til Sept of 70. Lived
at Seri Court and later at the Green
Villa. Worked Midnightz as
an 05H and loved every minute
of it! I was drinking with JW Hill the night he took the
header off
Seri Court. Hung out at the
Office Bar, Bill Books Cellar Bar, and
Dinos. What a country!!

I was stationed at the 7TH R.R.F.S. from September of
1970 til December of 1971 when I got out. I was in the
comm center at the operations building.

I have enjoyed your web site and am pleased to have been able to add to it
with my pictures (which I hope you all enjoy) and copies of my old "orders" from
which you got quite a few new names.
I was at Seri Court from January 1964 to December 1965. I separated from the
Army in Bangkok and hung out for a while before going back to California and
college. I worked in the Comm Center and was ultimately a Sgt E-5 and a "Trick
Chief". The NCOIC of the Comm Center was Sgt Sexton, better know as "Pinky".
I had a motorcycle for most of the time that I was in Bangkok. First a Honda
50cc then a really cool Honda 150cc which was red with white sidewall tires.
The mess hall opened just prior to my departure and in my opinion was the
beginning of the end. I only had a couple of meals in the mess hall then gave it
up and continued to eat in restaurants until I left the Army. Couldn't handle
bad roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravey at noon in the tropics after two
years of great Thai food.
I have been back to Thailand about seven or eight times in the past ten years
and it is still a GREAT town!!!!!
Seri Court is now a "Love Hotel" with curtains for the parking spaces so no one
can see your car as you visit with your girlfriend. The Capital Hotel is now the
Capital Condomunium. It surely is no longer the tallest building in the
neighborhood. There are some interesing bars on Pradiphat Road. The new Skytrain
solves many of the transportation problems that have plagued Bangkok for many
years. There is even a Saphan Khwai station that is only a short walk from Seri
Court.
I would be pleased to hear from anyone who was in Bangkok while I was there.
Is anyone interested in a Seri Court reunion anytime in the not too distant
future? As I live in Guam, only 6 air hours from Bangkok, I will make it there
for sure.

Rich,
Thanks for an incredible site! So many memories of a defining time in my life. I

a bit). I was better known for my nickname of "Dumpy". Al Sensely, Jim Terwall,
Andy Crist, Jack Harsha, Arnie Acosta, Jim "Bert" Lancaster, Verle "Andy"
Anderson, Bill MacInnes, Jim Hart, Ted Kaspryzski, Doyle Alexander, Doyle
Kennedy, Doyle Sullivan (Doyle was a common name at the time in Bangkok!), Jack
Bogrand, Joel Pecore,Maguraney, Col. Lum, Maj. Strong, Tom Dennehy, Keith
DeFant, Terry Haddock, Joel Wheeler and so many others. I wish I could recall
them all. We had a great experience and a lot of really good times. Thanks,
again. I'll spend many more hours at this site.

Itchy trigger finger, I did not finish my first entry. Anyway, thanks again for
the memories. You put together an excellent web page. I was an 05H at Seri Court
from June 1966 - November 1969 and boy did we have fun. I sent you a separate
email with a bit more detail about the last 30-plus years of my life. I would
enjoy hearing from you. Warmest wishes to you, your family and the old gang for
a safe and enjoyable holiday season. Best regards!!!

My father, Wallace J. Deicken was ASA Jan 61-Nov. 63 stationed in Bangkok,
Thailand. I can't tell you what a thrill it was to see my father's picture and
to read about your work in Thailand. I had heard stories from my mother and
father about their time in Bangkok, but seeing my father's picture and the

Great memories and photos of a wonderful little place in the early days of
my life. Thanks for the memories. I'll try to add some of my old pix later.
I volunteered for 5th RRU in Bangkok and arrived in May of 1963, only to be
surplused (Thai government did not like too many American "spies") and sent to
the 3rd RRU in Saigon. A week later I was issued an M2 Carbine (auto-selector)
and 45 rounds of ammo and sent to Det. 1, 3rd RRU (Phubai) where there were
about 65 of us and I learned how to sleep in a sandy bunk in 120 degree oven
called a platoon tent. Talk about Paradise Lost!! But was fortunate to be able
to extend and get back to Thailand. OUt of Service in May of 1965 just as the
big buildup was going on.

I was at Det J from June 72 til March 73. O5H Does anyone
know if Ubon stayed open until the &th closed or if the Det
was phased out earlier. I lived in room 616 of the Bodin
(Bowdin?) Hotel where the Det moved sometime before I arrived.
We could still use the pool at the Siam because it was the
same owner (I think). Before Thailand I was at Hakata and
knew a couple guys from the Det at Bangkok. Nice site.

1969-70. My memory for names has been all but erased at this advanced age but
would like to hear from former residents of " Carrot Court " ( We actually made
up some patches with the infamous carrot and the 83dRRSOU designation. I still
have one somewhere.) Anyone who rode the IH Travelall to work, hung at the bars
on Soi 33 and ate lunch from Dang's Hurkey Heaven, drop a line.

I have been trying to find guys I was stationed with at H Company, Ft
Devens, 8th RRFS, and Two Rock Ranch Station. I was at Devens the same time as
you, in the same Company. I was a "night school" student. I recognized some
names from your list; Balch, Baldwin, Semmler, Caldwell, Baur, Arce, Vannoy,
Vaughn, Summersett, Kaaiakamanu, Baird, Bowman, Blount, Wildemuth. Our squad
leader was SP4 John Wesley (Wes) Chase. Also with my group was Phillip B.
DavidsonIII - son of Gen. Phillip Davidson, Ron Zeiner, Leonard Huff, Tom
Stauffer, George Duggins, Onerdonk, Thomas Williams/White(?) 17 year old ham
operator (had to stay at Devens until he turned 18, to join us at Phu Bai), and
another guy whose name I can't remember - he was dark haired, skinny, and
carried around a 6 string and 12 string guitar and played Beattle's songs and
folk songs. There are many others, but my memory is really bad.
Got to Phu Bai in Apr66 or May66. Left Phu Bai in Jun68. Went to Two Rock Ranch
Station in Aug68 and left there in Jun69. Several friends got orders to Thailand
in January or February 1969. I was in Letterman Hospital, Presidio of CA, when
we all came down on waiver. Of course I couldn't go, but the rest did. One was a
tall light-skinned Black guy, with reddish hair and freckles. I remember his
name being Chris something. I think Jim Curry was there, too.

Hi Richard, I was in the Army about the same time as you doing basic at

changed from the time we were there. I was assigned to the 83d for a year
beginning Jul 67 in the HQ area doing budgeting and accounting. I recognize some
of the names of the guys from Hawaii, but I do not remember you. The pictures

Hi, My
name is Jerry Kirby. My father (SFC Edwin A. Kirby) worked at the 83rd RRSOU in
Bangkok. We arrived in January of 1970 and left in May of 1971. I did part of
the 5th grade and most of the 6th at the International School of Bangkok. Dad
retired from the Army in Oakland as soon as we got back. When we first arrived
in Thailand, my father worked at Seri Court and we lived in the Capitol hotel
waiting for our household goods to arrive. We then moved to 49/1 Soi 9, which
was up (forgive me) Phrahoyotin?, on the other side of the Capitol hotel from
the Liberty hotel. In fact, we were only a couple of blocks from the rear
entrance of the Seri Court compound. I remember the Liberty hotel well as we ate
dinner there every night both after arriving and then about three months before
leaving. Also, during the time we lived on Soi 9, we went swimming at the
Liberty almost every day. Not long before we left, what was left of the 83rd
RRSOU moved to the 5th floor of the Capitol. My father literally walked about 40
feet down the hallway to work. A lot of my friends fathers worked at Deputy
Chief (whatever that was) on the 6th floor. As I remember they had the whole
floor and relatively serious security. My father worked for a Colonel name
Fischer who left before we did. I seem to vaguely recall the Colonel was in some
sort of trouble. Could be wrong about that one though. He also worked with a
fellow named Schwimmer who went to Vietnam while we were there. My dad died in
1994 and never did talk much about his work. I do know he used to make regular
trips to up north, I believe as a courier. It used to amuse me at how quiet and
conspiratorial he would get when he told me what was at the time (twenty years
later) the most inconsequential details of what he did, always with the warning
not to repeat anything. He did take his clearance seriously. I have a thousand
memories of Thailand including all the cool motorcycles parked out back at Seri
Court. I was also old enough to understand what all the Thai girls were doing at
the Liberty hotel with the guys on R&R. If this brings back memories for any
dependents, I’d be happy to trade correspondence.

Lots of
familiar places, names, and faces (including yours). I was assigned to the 5th
RRU in Jun 65. Stayed in the Capital Hotel about a month before being reassigned
to Det B at Ubon. Spend time on the same island in the Mun River. I left Ubon in
Jan 67 for a tour with the 175th RRCo in RVN (another story). From Vietnam I
returned to the 83rd RRSOU in Jan 68 and was put in charge of the Minburi DF
site. Set up a new DF site at Phanom in 1969. I would have to dig out some old
orders to get the exact date. Left the 83rd RRSOU in Jul 70. Remember Norman
Wiswell, Charlie Gagnon, and Steve Wapple well. I'm sure I would remember more
if I had a face to go with the name.

Hi,
Richard - It's a terrific site, and thanks for the memories. Although I don't
remember you, we were in the same places at roughly the same times, and your
(old/young?) face rings a bell. I landed in Bangkok in January 66 as an 05D,
where for a long time I worked with Charley Gagnon out at the Minburi(?) site. I
made it to Ubon in January 67. Spent two years there. At that time we all lived
in a a large house in an area off-linits to air force personnel. The house was
run by Norman "Wiz" Wiswell, and we had a series of alcoholic NCO's in charge of
the detachment. When we moved into that bungalow complex you mentioned, things
changed like - we had to start getting haircuts and stuff. Some names not
mentioned in your list (includeing my own) are: Bruce "Scotty" Cotham, Jack
Reilly, James Garbett, Paul Matsuda, Joe Mace, and Denny Kopeck. There are a few
others too. Later in my "military career" I worked with Dave Laforest at the
Bangkok MARS station in JUSMAG. I'd like hearing from any of these guys and
yourself, and thanks again for the site

check it out from time to time. Good friends, good times, good cause... it was
just plain good - like your site.

Rich, thanks
for the memories.I enjoyed seeing pictures of the Mun river once again. I used
to swim therewhen I had time off. I was stationed at ubon with the 8th tactical
fighter wing, supply squadron from feb.1967 to feb.1968, we were known as the
"wolf-pack" and had 42 "mig" kills to our credit. Sgt. T. Eric Makoid

I was at
the 83rd in Bangkok 11/67-05/69 Mos 32G (Crypto Mech) Am looking for Lawrence
"Mike" Austin. He was a 98C/ Thai linguist. Last saw him at Vint Hill Farms
Station in 69-70. Last known address was in California around L.A. Would
appreciate hearing from anyone who served in the 83rd during that time. Also
trying to find Jerry "Jake" Fisher who worked in Signal Maintenance at the same
time. He worked with John Kinnahan

Rich, Just
got done sight-seeing on your website. Nice job. The Devens pics brought back
memories. I was there from Sept of 67 to July of 68 when I finally left for
Thailand. Why was the Ponderosa called the Ponderosa?? I forget. I think I was
in Co C. I know we had a small woodworking shop across the road from our
barracks and a hill that we would have beer parties on top of. Any how nice job.
If I can be of any assistance let me know. Bill

Excellant site. I was at Devens about the same time as you were. I was also
O5H20. Funny thing, I went to High School with one of your classmates ( Dave
LaForest ) at St. Ambrose here in Detroit MI. I landed in Bangkok in July of
1966, spent one night and was sent up to Udorn (Tent City ). On my way back home
in July of 67 I met up with Dave in Bangkok we got to visit, took some photos
and I havn't seen nor heard from him since. I also new Kuroda & Soto from Udorn.
I left Udorn with my next duty Station being Bad Aibling Germany. It was great
duty but I missed Thailand. I got to know many of the locals and really enjoyed
the country. Have you had any contact with LaForest ? Hope to hear from you.
Thanks again for a good site. ( ... -.- ).

Richard: I spent over an hour viewing your past life through words and pictures.
Your website gave me a wonderful historic view of a person I knew little of and
of who I now know a great deal more about. Thanks, it is great. I passed the
site on to my brother-in-law Bob Elliot who was a second lieutenant in country.

Super site, Rich! Brings back a lot of good memories. We'll have to talk more.
Thanks for contacting me. Over the years, I've often wondered what became of all
the guys I knew. Ever think about putting a reunion together?

was there April 66 to Sep 68. You, Del Wright, Super Andy, Popovich, Joiner --
you guys wouldn't give up and it sure made a difference.

My
military career followed a similar path - from basic to Bangkok. I was an 058
there from July 65 to December 66. It really bothers me that I don't remember
you during our common 6 month interval. I worked steady afternoon shifts 6 days
on - 3 days off usually spent at Pataya. I guess I was a short timer and you
were probably viewed as a NUG, so we never associated. Great site - although
those photos would have probably gotten you arrested at the time you took them.
I also have a large quantity of B&W photos from Seri Court and Bangkok. Nice
site - enjoyed the Devens pictures - looked the same way when I was there from
December 64 - June 65. Tim Heimel
