** Don't bet the ranch on that but I know for sure the first move was in July. I had just got back from R&R when we moved. I was on the plane back when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. **

I was home on leave for the moon landing, Ron.

Got to get Shakey and Davey Silk to tell us about the move to An Khe, it did happen just after I left.

I do remember them telling me a story about the convoy getting delayed so that they hit whichever pass was between Pleiku and An Khe after dark. (Duh. I forget whether An Khe Pass or Mang Yang.) Ol' Jake Gilliland was on the running board of a rolling deuce-and-a-half taking a leak when the dinks opened up. You want to hear a funny story about Jake turning off the faucet ... ?
