Thanks, I really am impressed with your notes. You've cleared up some very distant memories for me. I think I remember wondering about the mail, too. Thanks again.

As soon as we can get home to Nevada, get settled, get the new garage built to work the old cars, I want to put all these notes in a format with callouts that can be turned over to John Freeman in date order with sub-titles that allow a person to key in a term and that item can come up.
I really thought we'd be a bit more into this move, selling the house,
and know exactly which plot of dirt around Virginia City we'd
move too. 35 years of marriage, 32+ years at Lockheed, 5 kids, sorting and trying to purge things, I never knew people could gather so much SHIT! Seems my tools are number 1 for the purging, and our trying not to square off, still find stuff, ain't made this the
Happy Camp. Ask the questions for 66 thru 12-1969, and at least I now
know where all the info is at in the mounting piles of boxes. I
hope I pick the right place in Nevada, as I am only moving two more times in my life.....one to Nevada and one to the ground!

With the advent of the internet, I've tried over the years and couldn't find anything until a couple of years ago, I found a webpage of a couple of guys that had indicated they sailed on the Cochrane. Further contact via email didn't work-must of been my ineptitude. Anyway, I ran "COCHRANE" on the browser again during a downtime at the office--and here you are.

My most heartfelt thanks to all that have taken the time and energy to present this forum for guys like me. I'll be a regular subscriber--thanks again!

Horace,
It was most likely in 66 as I was stationed in Danang when you guys were there.
We used to go over to Monkey mountain on the LCU that I was on and shoot up the country side with 20mm. nice weapon.
