My dad was in the Army and we were stationed at Ft. Leavenworth from 1984-1986. I saw the name Bob Savacool listed above. I was trying to find a Marine by the last name of Savacool who used to be my baseball coach from 1985-1986. I can't remember if his name was Ed or Bob. All of my coaches from 1985-1986 were Marines, and I have very found memories of that time. If anyone knows of any Marines who were at Ft. Leavenworth from 85-86 I would appreciate the help.

My dad was Bob Savacool, who was at Camp Geiger. He was in the Marines when I was born (Oct. 25, 1955). He died in November, 2000 of cancer. I still have a couple of pictures of him in uniform from those days and I remember my dad talking about the names you mentioned above.

[lemeeg]

I immensely saddened to hear about your dad. He, Bob Morton and I had some great times together at Geiger. Would you consider emailing me a few of the photos you mentioned?

Not certain my first reply got posted. Would you consider emailing several of those photos to me?

[jsp305]

Hi -- glad to get a reply from you. I am attaching some photos. Others in the photos are not identified, so I hope you'll recognize some of these Marines :)

The group photo is labled Third Recruit Batallion, June 14, 1954.

Your dad worked for a time in the HQ office of our unit. I recognized him immediately; however, I don't recall any of the others in the photos. Turns out, too, that your dad and I were at Parris Island at the same time, summer of '54, although in different platoons and companies.

[lemeeg]

I also recall several trips your dad, Bob Morton and I made to Duke. I think your dad knew someone there in one of the fraternities. We dated several girls there.
