I just wanted to say thanks for getting me back in the Assoc. I signed up a long time ago, but lost track of a few things, like staying with the group. I'm sure I saw a lot of you guys, but it was from the LZ looking up under the helo. I was a Shore Party guy (HST) and worked Hill 881s and 861a during the January, February, March rush. I just loved being under your helo's when we would get nets in and out. You couldn't hear a damn thing, but had to do the job. If I get a chance to make one of the reunions, I will bring in a few pictures of one of the crews reading some mail from home. I took it while being flown to Delta Med when I got hit. Things were bad there, but they still had time for mail from home. Also if the price is right, I'll give you a map where some of your cargo nets can be found. Just didn't want to stand out there more than I had to.
