Served with 3/7 Marines, 69-70, H&S Co., 81 mm Mortars. I'm looking for David Villareal, Company F.O., last known (1970) - Casa Grande, Arizona. Dave, if your'e out there, I have a really cool picture of you, "Shorty" and me on a "mule".The picture was taken at L.Z. Baldy. I've also got pictures of "Pops" Bourne (Indiana) on the gun, and "Tommy" Sawyer passing out candy to the local kids. I also have a picture of me doin a "J" on a truck in the Da Nang area, after a 12 hour field-pass. You were there, do you remember lining up for the Red Cross phones to call home?
I'm currently working as a PTSD assessment counselor in the Boston area.I can't say that I love it, but it's something that I understand. Over the past 34 years I've had 17 jobs, two marriages, 2 kids (lost), and have 6 grandchildren (never seen). Don't know how my wife puts up with me (God bless her!!!). Ain't life a bitch? It don't mean nothin, I guess.
Dave. if your'e out there and read this, PLEASE contact me! Maybe we can track down "Shorty" (N.J.), Pops" (Indiana), "Chief" (Pema tribe, N.M.), "Slick" (Gary, Indiana), and "Tommy" (Long Island))
Love and Peace, "Rico" - "Tin Toy La Rico"
