No flies on you, Carl! That's the guy.

He was a Frenchman or a French Canadien, I can't remember which, and had served some time in the French army. He was from Quebec and was in the US Army to get US citizenship quickly, and to prevent his ex-wife gaining control of his kids.

Cheney was born in E. Germany, and as a kid was spirited under the Berlin Wall thru a tunnel by his parents. He was Tommy "Lurch" Morrison's C/E in Dec. 69, and Dube was the gunner.

My first C/A was about the 2nd or 3rd week in Dec up in the An Lao with that crew: it was there that Lurch gave me the moniker "Pickett" (from Wilson Pickett --- the alternative to "Willy Peter" which he almost settled on!)

That night they came over to celebrate, and said I had done well, and I don't know what else happened. I remember John "Rosebud" Thorn and I were pulling guard duty that night, and those two with their Jack and Seagrams Show just about got us court-martialed!

Dube was a real character. And he and Cheney were always bickering about some little thing or another --- it was the French vs German thing; but good guys and good reliable crewmen.
