Default May I join you?

If you don't mind, I would like to join your distinguished gathering. The name is Rotorwash, I spent nineteen months in the Playground of the Orient as a crewchief on Hueys, the 101 at Phan Thiet in Feb 1967, the Koreans and the 4th ID at Tuy Hoa in Mar 1967, the 1/35th of the 25th ID (later 4th ID) in April and May 1967 at Duc Pho, then some time in the hospital with malaria, then back to Duc Pho until they got tired of me and sent me home in Aug 68. I spent the next six years banging around working on every helicopter the Army had from the OH-6 to the CH-54. Nov 1974 I went to the Special Forces and stayed three years until some stupid parachute landings and a new wife who did no want me jumping anymore allowed me to get out on a medical. Seems that I have chased Frisco all over creation, carried his butt around Duc Pho and then we both lived in Flathead County, Mt.

I must admit I have been lurking on the fringes of this site and have the greatest respect for ya'll. I really enjoyed the stories by James Worth.

Thanks folks.

Thanks for the welcome, ya'll. Yeh Stick I guess you can blame us for the hair loss, we probably got away with a lot of things we never got caught for.

Default Any friend

of Frisco and admirer of James is welcome around here with me.

Glad to have you on board Rotorwash!

Where bouts in North Carolina you herald from?

My father, grandfather and many other distant relatives (including a couple of great looking cousin-in-laws ) were born and raised in and around the Asheville/ Canton area.

Anyways, welcome aboard and hope to see more of you around here.

RW
Welcome aboard and welcome home....Being close to Georgia, you need to show up in April for our annual church revival seminar located in Ellijay Ga. While you're there you'll experience "how to pray, how to get along with your fellow man, How to play poker and lose, How to eat raw oysters with vietnamese hot sauce at 7 in the morning. How to kill Mustache's Mikes pets and eat it, and most of all, how to cope with a 4 day hang-over.
