I was assigned to the 86th Sig Bn HHq Co in January of 1970 and worked for a time as a clerk-typist under Col Meers, and Sgt Mike Tarin, legal clerk. Thd 86th had sites in Tay Ninh, My tho and Ben Tre. In April I was ordered to the 10th Sig Co(?),My Tho for a week to re learn my 05C20 MOS before a reassignment to Ben Tre and our small Signal Site there. . On August 18, I was injured returning from Saigon, after the last ferry crossing between My Tho and Ben Tre within a few miles of Ben Tre. Don't remember what happened to nor to the Vietnamese Driver and a Mr Baker, appaently a civilian in the vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser assigned to COORDS, a US Aid Agency. A couple of weeks before Thankgiving the coma broke and I began a recovery at Beach Pavillion of Ft Sam Houston, San Antonio.
I would enjoy receiving E-mail from any who might remember th 86th Sig Bn in Cu Chi, the various sites we manned, and an interesting CSgtMaj, who kept us on our toes in Hdqters Co. and Ed Boucher, the Col. driver.
