1/39 Inf, Baumholder FRG 1986-1989

Now here are a few fellows who I do know how to reach, if anyone's looking:

1LT Jerry Kulp
1LT Will Beck
Jerry outlasted me -- he got to Baumholder before I did, stayed through the transition to 4/12 Inf, and if I've got my story right ended up commanding a company in 1990.

Will Beck was there at Paddy's Gang before me and then left on schedule round about 1988.

AAAO!

Slack Is As Slack Does . . .

. . . which is how Forrest Gump would probably describe my blog output lately. But I do hope to steal a moment away from other business more often so I can post a few names from time to time.

Now, I'm going to draw on a list that dates back to before I arrived at 1/39 Infantry in Baumholder. These fellows had all left, if I recall correctly, by mid-1987.

1LT Steve Collier (Bravo Co XO?)
1LT Jim Hamaker
1LT Jack McCracken
1LT Pierre Lys

As ever, if anyone knows where to find these gentlemen then dash off a quick note and I'll see if I can link them up with some of the fellows they served with in Paddy's Gang back in the mid-1980s.

AAAO!
