Found a buddy, and a picture

[Windwalker]

I've been trying to locate a buddy from Thailand for 39 years. I found him, living with his wife in Illinois, and called him last weekend. What a great feeling! We were stationed at the 7th RRFS at Udorn and rented a place in town.

While searching the web, I also found a picture that I'm in at the link below (I'm on the left, holding the sign). The group is the Avn detachment at the 7th RRFS, based at the Udorn air base (Air America side).

Both events triggered a flood of memories.

Udorn

Haven't heard that name for a long time. Although I wasn't there, a lot of my buddies were.

Was able to contact a friend from my Army days, like 40 years ago, had lots of fun reminiscing.

That is cool. We have stayed in touch over the years with a few that we served with. I even ended up with my friends son on short notice one summer because she had to go for training in VA. He hadn't seen me since he was like 2.
