This post is a correction to one currently(6/11/06) in Folder #79 w/outdated contact data: I was assigned to the 86th Sig Bn HHq Co, Cu Chi in January of 1970 and worked for a time as a clerk-typist under Lt Col William Renner and Sgt Mike Tarin, legal clerk. The 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 relearn my 05C20 MOS before a reassignment to the 535th Sig Co, Ben Tre's 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.
I don't know what happened to me, to the Vietnamese Driver or a Mr Baker, a civilian in his vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser assigned to COORDS, a US Aid Agency.
A couple of weeks before Thankgiving '70, a coma broke and a recovery at Beach Pavillion of Ft Sam Houston, San Antonio was continued.
I would enjoy receiving E-mail from any who might remember the 86th Sig Bn in Cu Chi, the various sites we manned and an interesting CSgtMaj, who kept us on our toes in Hdqters Co; Ed Boucher, the Col's driver and a fellow in Ben Tre, Scotty, from Sandusky, Ohio.
