I have yet again turned in my retirement request for my last and final retirement, to be on 01OCT2013. This time I am really going to retire….. The LBE has been hung up for good, now it’s going to be a conversation piece, near the fire place, for people to look at and say “what’s that”….

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Mike Keohane Message: FYI! I just upgraded my Auto GPS to Garmin nuvi 2757lm. My old Garmin nuvi 3490 lmt needs a new owner. It is still a good system but the screen was small and my eyes needed a bigger screen. Anyone interested? I can bring it to the November meeting. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Bob Suchke Message: It is sad news to learn of the passing of one of our own. Ranger Janos Schalavin was a member of the combat patrolling team when I knew him back in the early 1970's. Danforth was the OIC and McDonald was NCOIC of RM1R33N. We ran the platoon combat patrols from Cavender CP up north of the Toccoa River. Schalavin was a SSG at the time if memory serves and was always an inspiring and unique individual. He could cook some of the best goulash I ever ate. Ranger Janos Schalavin was highly respected in the Ranger Community and will be missed by all who knew him. CSM Schalavin, we will see you on the high ground! RLTW! |
