I was in the band with some of those fellows also. Imet my wife through Tony Brothers.
They were a great bunch of guys. When I got there John Binet was the Drum Major.

I was tasked by LCol Blake Baille to be the pl comd of the CofD in late 65 in 2RCR in Germany. The pl sgt was George Purzell and the D/M was Doug Hilchey.
We enjoyed an adventure training trip down the Ruhr in four rubber assault boats in the summer of 66. The safety NCO was BC Robinson. I have a lot of picture that I would be happy to share. They were a eegood bunch of guys and we had some interesting times.
