Chuck Norton, Maintenance Platoon 1988-1991

News of Chuck Norton, who served with me both in Paddy's Gang and, after that, with the 4th Battalion 12th Infantry:
My name is Chuck Norton. I was a Specialist stationed in Baumholder Germany from 1988-1991. I was in HQ company.

I was in the maintenance platoon who was run by SFC Deihl at the time. SFC Deihl became my section sergeant after MSG Elce came and took over the maintenance platoon. I worked with Sgt Dan Rogers, SSG Dan Young, one of the Vorhis brothers and Trey Herdon (my room mate at the time). I remember both COs but can't remember the name of the tall slender 1SGT that we had -- just remember that he was a nice guy (Jones I think).

I do recall Major McAllister. I can see him running around in his Shelver-flage now!

There is no one in particular that I am looking for. I would be interested in getting in touch with anyone from the maintenance platoon just to say hello.

Happy holidays!

Chuck Norton

Thanks, Chuck, for writing in -- everyone else, don't be shy about sending an email to get back in touch.

p.s. You can add your name to the roster now!

Dennis Murray, 1st Battalion, 39th Infantry, 1968-1970

A short note from Dennis Murray, another Paddy's Gang alumnus:
I was stationed in Baumholder from Sept. 1968 to January 1970. I was in Co. C, 2nd squad, 1/39th Inf. I would like to know if anyone on your roster might have served during this period? My name is Dennis Murray. Hope this info will help.

Thank you

Dennis Murray

I've responded separately to Dennis with contact details, and can also put you in touch if you served with him during those days.

AAAO!
