Bruce Hughes, Mortar Platoon, 1976-1979

Very brief news from Bruce Hughes, who served with the Mortar Platoon during the 1970s. I bet we were using the same tubes in the late 1980s. . . .

AAAO!
SGT Bruce Hughes
Combat Support Company, 4.2" Platoon
Arrived: July 76
Departed: Feb 79
Baumholder was different then . . . I can only imagine how different it is now.

OK.

Always First!

Mark Phillips, 1983

Over the past couple months I've been catching up on correspondence that went south when I accidentally melted down my database. One of the fellows I missed during that time was Mark Phillips, who served with Paddy's Gang in Baumholder during 1983 and 1984. Here's some of the information he recently passed my way -- thanks, Mark!
I was actually there from March 1983 until September 1984.

Look up Jose Borges, he worked with me at Battalion HQ in S-1...you can find him on Facebook. He retired from the Army as a SGT MAJ!

Anyway - I remember that Robert Mack (from SC), Thomas E. Goodloe (from ATL), Scott J. French (Burbank, CA) Robert Saunders (Tampa, FL), Frank Pimentel (NC), and Richard Munson (Minnesota, Terry D. Dentry... were all there in S1...

Mark's down in Georgia these days. I have his contact details, so be sure to let me know if you'd like to get back in touch.

AAAO!
