Re: Ron Carey

Bob,

I had though it was Bowles who got hit that day at Swinger. I racked my brain and kept going through my journal and he was the one I kept coming up with. One call to Gene and he nailed it on the head. The minute he said his name I remember him. Bob, he was with you at Dak To during Oct. and Nov.68. Average height with short buzz type haircut. Black hair. He had almost a pigeon toed type walk. After Dak To you went to first flight and he went to second.

Gene was flying with Jack (JC) the day we tangled with the quad fifty near LZ Hard Times. We got that lie straight now. We both have stuff the swap and plan on doing it real soon. He remember you Big guy. He also has a line on a few other Gators and Crocs. Believe it or not we are about 70 miles apart. He moved here in the 80's. Small world. Thirty-four years ago tomorrow. God! Has it been that long? I still remember the night before and the following day. I tried once to contact Shifty's wife. I think her name was Cindy. Never got in touch. I think he had a small child. I always wanted to tell them he was a good guy.
