Letter from the webmaster<= /p>

Bit of history

I originally started th= e web site so I would have a place to post my own pictures. Erik had started the Fox's Den website, but I was sure the volume of photos I had would overwhelm his resources. Anyway it would be a learning experience. I had a lot = of computer experience but no web site work. As time went on other Swamp Foxes made contact. I posted their pics too.

One day I got an email from o= ne of the guys asking if I had information on some one he had served with. I sent= a reply with the information and got a thanks in return. That felt really goo= d. Sometime after that I was buying some parts for my camping trailer. The old= guy behind the counter was completely bald and looked to be around eighty. There was a picture of a Mustang in flight on the wall and I asked if was a P51 p= ilot . That was him in the picture. He had been in Korea. He talked about friend= s who didn't come back and those that did he never heard from again even during h= is time with NJNG. It struck me that this was a truly sad state of affairs. Friends he had shared the combat experience with just scattered to the four winds and disappeared. What a shame. I couldn't do anything for Earl. Too m= any years had gone by, but I damn sure could do something for the Swamp Fox. The web site was already there and it now had a purpose.

Charley Baker came on board as unit historian an= d has been a great source of information leading to the conscription of wayward S= wamp Fox. Don Nicholson came on board at the 13^th CAB Reunion as Reun= ion Coordinator and has done a super job as boots on the ground. Bob Woolley, D= an Aldridge and Gary Simon, contributors all. What a great team to work with.

All this time the goals= have been the same. The most important goal is goal one. Re-uniting our good fri= ends from the days of the Swamp Fox. The email addresses are there. If need be I= have phone numbers for most. Last month I sent out the roster by state. Attached= is a resend with this month's new guys included. You may have a fellow S= wamp Fox in your area. Don't be strangers.

By all means, if at all possible, do not miss the October Reunion at Ft. Walton Beach. From the experience at Fredericksburg in = 05' I can tell you it will be well worth the trip.

Goals:=

To find as many of our old friends as possible and = get them talking to each other again.

To build as complete a history of the unit as possible and make it available to all the members.

To perpetrate reunions. The perps this year are Don Nicholson and Sam Givhan

REMINDER:

Remember to bring a picture ID with you to the reunion. Our tours will take place on one or more military installati= ons where you will be required to show an ID in order to gain access. A state driver's license works great.

creep i= n and make you start to groundloop that Birddog. It's then when you remember that your safe with the Geiss gear installed on the wheels. As you wake up in a = cold sweat, it dawns on you that the history of the Geiss gear and its applicati= on is shrouded in mystery. Well, again thanks to our #1 technical research man, Ken Hinks, we have another piece of the puzzle. Click on the web addre= ss http://stinet.dtic.mil/oai/oai?&ver= b=3Dgetrecord&metadataprefix=3Dhtml&identifier=3Dad0431264 and it will provide some insight into the development, testing and application of this fine anti-groudloop device.
