Color photo was me the day we left for Yakota Air Base to go back to the states. June 18th of 1971 if memory serves. The place closed down. If you had more than two years left you went to Misawa, more than a year you went back to the states for 30 days leave and then went to Stageing at Camp Pendleton and then Nam. If you had less than a year you got to experience Camp Gieger, 2nd Radio Battalion in North Kakalacky.



From the left is Mike Milton "The manual morse monster from Marietta GA." - next is ?, next is ?, Gary Hughes with his back to camera, Bob Bowen from Mass. ? sitting down and Phil Falsone on the right. Phil drowned in Lake Erie in 1978 (or so). His body was never found. I talked to his parents a few years back. He was a good guy.



Don't remember his name but he's at the duty desk in the barracks of Co. E. After being in the tunnel for awhile you got to work days for a month and sit at the desk and answer the phone.



Les McCauley on the Left, Sgt. Johnson (soon to be Corporal Johnson if my memory is correct) and a guy whose wife hit him in the face with a bottle not too long after this bike race. It happened just before we left and the last I heard he was in danger of loosing his eye but they sent him to Misawa anyway.



The two guys in the middle of the football field were both R branchers, can't remember the one on the left but Phil Falsone is on the right.

Seated from the left are: Jim Skowronski from Rockford, Ilinois (married Debbie Thayer) I drove down to his wedding in the spring of 1972 or 1973.

Middle ? Bob Bowen, ? ? ? Phil Falsone

Back row Bob Howfield from Parsippany, New Jersey (him and Falsone went to Boot Camp and R school together) and the last guy with his hat on backwards was from Minnesota also and I think his last name was Keister or Kiester.
