    Say Doc, found it interesting that you and I were stationed in the same area at about the same time. I was with Bravo Co 7th Engs(2nd plt) from 72 to late 73 when I went to Base MP`s ETS from Pendleton June of 75. Wasn`t Bridge Co over by the dining facility?

    Hey Bill! What happened? Did they close Mannford when you left? I can't find it on my Atlas. I don't know about Mannford but my hometown, they say, had a population of 52 if you included livestock. Mom lives in Grove now. Later...........
