John, during 85-88 I was at Goeppingen, Germany with the Big Red One, alhto you probably served with my very close mentor, MG (Ret) Rusty Dyer. Was that old crusty CSM Godfrin, the 32nd CSM?..I did not get to 32nd until 94-95 when I was a Patriot Bn XO in Kaiserslautern with 1-7 ADA..great memories..

And to everyone else who took time to say congrats, thank you.

Ray...if you can make it, Ida and I would love for Penny and you to share our house with us when you're in Atlanta. I believe Ms. Marie will be with us too (the more the merrier)..pls note that we will have to stay overnite in Columbus, Georgia (near Ft. Benning) on the 7th of April..as we have an induction dinner that nite
and the induction ceremony on the 8th.
