Paul,
Pat Kelly was with the 119th from Sept 67 to Sept 28. He took over Gator 207 from the "infamous" Carl Duke, in early 68 (who we haven't heard from in a while, Carl, where the hell are you?).
After Pat was shot down in Gator 207, he took over CE of Gator 137 until he and Michael Cece, Gator 390 went home in Sept 68. They both were friends with Billie Joe Ontis and the rest of the crew of Gator 297 and didn't hear about the lost until after it happened when they were back at Ft Useless.
Pat only lives a couple of minutes from me, but doesn't have access to email. I'll print out your story about 137 and give it to him. I'm sure he'd like to see a picture of Gator 137, just send it to my email and I'll be sure to get it to him. If I can drag him over to the house, I'll have him get in touch with you.
George
