I recall a private with the same last name when I came to Germany, Fort York in 1966. He liked to drink Doppel Korn, bought at the Ranch House.

Would you be this same person?  Smiley

Hey Rick, here's a blast from the past. 3 platoon Duke's Coy early 80's (83 I think, before the YTEP troops came) just before a recce patrol.

Front row: Tompkins, Ron McKinnon, Dwayne O'Brein (OB), Paul (Stretch) ?; myself, Tom Lawrence.

BGack row: ?, yourself (with a wad of probalby Redman), Alvas, Geoff Halsey, Carlos Rees.

-that was basically the whole platoon back then (minus one or two)...Terry Scott was platoon commander; Doug Bittle platoon WO.
