Newly found Veteran Ted Nelson, SP5, 058, Det 27, 63-64, Santa Monica, CA
 I was able to locate Ted Nelson on the 6th of July after calling the 23 Ted Nelson's listed as living in CA. I finally wised up and tried Theodore Nelson.  He was surprised to hear from a TURKEY vet.  Ted is 63 and retired in 1998 from the LA City Fire Dept after 30 years as a fireman.  Ted in his younger days was a premier and versatile runner and was the 20th person to run the metric mile in under 4 minutes. I believe his time was 3:59.4 and that he finished third in that race behind Jim Ryan and Tom Farrell. Ted is a native of MN and graduated from the Univ of MN State at Mankota.  He informs, modestly, that he missed making the Olympic Team (Tokyo) in 1964, but in 1966 in a West Berlin Track and Field Meet he set a WORLD record in the 800 meters.  Someone later beat his world record time, but he held the USA record for 20 years until Johnny Gray, the 4 time Olympian beat his time. Ted told me that he thought that Lanny Couvillon was living nearby, but I find thru mapquest that Novato, CA is almost 7 hours away in the SF area.
In my attempt to locate Ted Nelson I received assistance from Janet Robertz and Tim Zbikowski, but it was my sleuthing that tracked Theodore J. Nelson to Santa Monica, CA.

                                        BIO
From: Ed Register, E7, Spook, Det 27, 62-64, (Inez), Lexington, SC, EDREG1444@aol.com
Hi Elder Nasiliniz!  First, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into making this reunion possible.  It was interesting to see what Bill Schulz had been doing.  I haven't heard but I'm sure Stan Winarski's "afterlife" would also be interesting.  Both are good men and I'm sure they have accomplish much.  I see where Bill was looking for something he could do for his country.  Aside from all the good things he has already done, he might consider teaching West Palm Beach natives how to count.  He could have saved the tax payers a lot of money.  Maybe we could persuade him to get into politics.  He has my vote.  Concerning "Stalag 27".  Yes, I remember my exodus from Turkey the second time from Ankara.  After Turkish customs shook me down for a few Turkish lire and a meerschaum pipe, I was off to my new duty station, the meerachaum MI Detachment, Fort Carson, CO.  What a contrast of duties.  It was a fatigue-wearing STRAC unit working for G-2.  I was assigned to the IG's team and conducted security inspections of units of the 5th Inf. Div., and did other CI duties.
From beautiful Colorado to humid Okinawa.  I was assigned to the US Army Pacific Intelligence School (USAPAC INTEL).  All MI courses were taught, very similarly as the "Bird".  I was assigned to the CI Section and taught those courses.  Many, if not most courses were taught through interpreters, to officers from seven different Southeast Asian countries.  School emphasis were placed on "our" collections.  From sunny Okie and a great assignment to hot Atlanta and no doubt the worst assignment, the 111th MI group.  The same outfit that had sent me to Det 27 in '62.
I was assigned to the Tech Shop and having had no tech training, I protested as loud as I respectfully could, all to no avail.  Col. McBride, group commander would have no part of it and promised me that I would be well qualified when I left his unit.  What a prophet he was.  Fortunately for me, I had an excellent Chief Warrant Officer.  He took me by the hand and led me all over the Southeast (3rd Army at the time).  We used a Dodge van loaded with all imaginable tech equipment.  We did both announced and unannounced tech inspections on military units from North Carolina to Alabama and Florida.  Most were done on missile sites in Florida.  Everything from surreptitiously, inspection security vaults, photographing, picking locks, and frequency monitoring of classified meetings of war rooms.  If someone requested it, we did it, often without request. We made a lot of people angry.
Just when we thought we had things under control and running smooth, our bubble burst ... big time.  April 1968 Lorraine Motel, Memphis, Tenn., Martin Luther King was assassinated.  Activity picked up very quickly.  Plans were formulated.  Three agents, a motor home loaded with electronic and photo equipment, we were off to Memphis in preparation for the Poor Peoples Campaign (Mule Train), from Memphis to Washington.  This motor home literally became a mobile photo lab.  We photographed during the day and developed, printed and shipped at night.  We were also talked with establishing and maintaining communication for all military units from Mississippi to North Carolina.  After weeks on the road, we were finally relieved by the 109th MI Group in VA.
Back to Atlanta and our routine Tech inspections.  Then we were off to Miami Beach and the Republican National Convention.  Hosea William, now the leader of the SCLC was there to make known his organization's position and there I was with my 35 mm Sony video, making sure his views were documented and preserved. This usually took 12 to 15 hours per day.  Nonetheless, when "Tricky Dick" won the nomination, Hosea and his followers in Liberty City (suburb of Miami) were not too pleased.  Liberty City went up in fire bombs and smoke.  This lasted for another two weeks.  During this time we maintained liaison with the G-2 Section of the Florida National Guard. 
After the smoke cleared in Liberty City, we returned to Atlanta and picked up where we had left off.  Most of our inspections were far behind schedule, therefore our work was intensified from North Carolina to Alabama and up and down the Florida peninsula, all the time in fear that we may be sent to Chicago, to cover the Democratic National Convention.  What a mess that was ... remember?  We did relax a bit when we learned that the 115th MI Group would be used.
In mid January '69, in preparation for the presidential inauguration, we were off to "war torn" Washington, DC (it had been pretty much tasked earlier).  Everyone was expecting a total trashing this time.  We worked out of the Pentagon in concert with the Secret Service.  Things went well and we returned to Atlanta.  By now I was saddle sore and worn out, Viet Nam was still raging.  I finally, after 21 plus years, realized that I just could not adjust to military service, so in March 60, I hung it up.  I returned to Columbia, SC and went to work for SC National Bank (SCNB) in June 69.  SCNB had recently obtained a franchise with Bank America to issue BankAmericards (now Visa) for the state of South Carolina.  I organized and ran their security and investigations department for the next 15 years.  Primary duties were to purchase, transport, secure, issue and reissue cards to customers.  We were also tasked with investigate, identify, and prosecute individuals who found, stole, or made cards for the purpose of making illegal purchases of goods and services.
Since most of this work was criminal, I managed to pick up a degree in criminal justice.  This helped greatly, especially during court proceedings.  During this time, my wife, Inez decided to finish her education and graduated from Southeastern Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC.  She was ordained a Southern Baptist Minister and now works as a chaplain for the State.
After 15 years with the bank, I retired and became a "house husband".  I also dabbled in art, got involved with pastel portrait painting.  I soon grew tired of that and decided I wanted to see South and Central America.  After several trips, I found a good fishing hole about 50 miles southwest of San Pedro Sul, Honduras. Big Bass, no limit.
In late 1998, disaster struck.  I fell and broke my hip.  Apparently it did not heal properly.  I still have to use a cane.  What a way to get around!  I had both hands operated on for carpal tunnel syndrome.  No hands. No feet.  I recently underwent laproscopic surgery to remove an adrenal gland.  Its tough growing old.  So old that I don't make promises anymore, but I do hope that I will be able to make it to Hershey in September.
I will stay in touch. Elder, tesekkur ederim for all the good news and allaha ismarladik.

($70.00 as I read it).  If you have a schedule of events or a timetable please let me know.  Looking forward to the visit.  Ric Balderson, who was with me at Manzarali Station (and met me at the airport when I flew in on Pan Am) is coming down from Mendham, NJ.  He arrived in Turkey just before I did and we pretty much had identical tours.  He was the finance officer - whom Hank Neill replaced. dt

From: "Steve MacCartan", SP5, 059, Det 27, 63-64, Savanna, IL., shm@gallatinriver.net Elder,  -  Appreciate what you are doing with this information service.  It certainly brings back the memories with all the name connections.  My 22 months in Ankara, Jan 1960 to Nov 1962,  and the people I associated with during that time, had a direct influence on my future. I will certainly give you some info about my years after the military asap. Do you have any info on Gary R Stuart?.  I think he retired as a Major and may be living in St Petersberg, Florida.  If so would you please let me know his address or phone #.  Thanks again  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From: "Roger Glubka", PVT, 72B, Det 27, 64-65, (Michelle), Korea, glubkar@kornet.net> Subject: touching base.   Just got back Monday from a few day in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam. Went on a package tour that included air, rooms, meals and tours.  Flew over on Asian Air (5 hours) couldn't eat the food on the plane, an omelet with fish and shrimp is not appetizing.  Stayed at the same hotel Clinton and his family stayed at called the New World!  Took a boat up the Mekong river to My Tho and had a tour of the Ben Dinh tunnel in that area and showed us the bamboo traps, trip wires and all that jungle warfare.  What a lot of people don't know is that they (Cu Chi Province) started building those sophisticated tunnels  in 1955.  I see what our media meant when they said that we were in control during the day but at night the Cong were.  The tour guide knew English very well but was a little brain washed as to why we were there in the first place.  I asked her if she took any political science courses abroad?  They refer the war as "The American War".  I asked her what happen to the political dissidents, educators, professional people, and she said they were sent to "re-education camps", and I said bull shit they were executed and only the lower class were sent to reeducation camps.  Since the country opened there doors in 1986 to tourist and free trade you would think they would be more advanced but they are so far behind the rest of Asia it's pathetic.  I won't go into details but if anyone has any particular question I'll respond to that.  The upside is that DVD's of current movies i.e.: Back in Black, Spiderman, Minority Report and etc. can be purchased for $1.25 and music CD's for a dollar.  We bought 20, now the question is how is the quality.  We haven't watched any yet.  Bought 5 wooden Harley motorcycle models.  The other thing I picked up was diarrhea from a Tiger beer that I thought was over but it
hit me again today.  Next trip Beijing in Sept. I hope!  I'll keep you posted unless I hear other wise.  Roger "G"

From: Walter.Sinor@stpaul.com, To: rlouder434@earthlink.net,Cc: Elder RC Green Subject: Ronald Ostroski Roy,  I was in Det 27 and was friends with Ronald Ostroski who was in Signal Corp (Det 66) from 1-62 through 6-63 and we were both married, and lived off base on Bachalavia Street in Ankara.  He had this amazing ability to use his voice to make sounds of a cat fight, and we used to sit on our balconies (drinking a few beers), and laugh at all of the Turkish citizens who would come out of their houses to check out the disturbances. They held the "Cat" to be sacred. So far as I can remember they never discovered the source of the cat fights. Do you know his current whereabouts? After 40 years I may have the spelling of his last name slightly off. He was a native of New Jersey. Do you remember this individual and any particulars? Thanks!

From: "Clark L Bryan", SP5, Bulgarian linguist, Det 27 & 4-4, 67-69, (Althea), Webster, NY., mix1bryan3@juno.com I'll work on [re-scanning the family photo] it.  By the way, funny thing happened last month.  I've been
searching for an old Turkish friend who I met on an Ankara street in 1966, and who, believe it or not, attended the same university as I did in Colorado (CSU).  We lost track after his marriage and our departure from Turkey.  I've been trying for years to relocate the family and once, while stationed in NY, NY I went all the way to the Turkish delegation at the UN in an attempt to find him.  Well, last month, a former Navy doctor who is now in private practice and who also promotes pharmaceuti-cal products for major supplier, went to Turkey on a pleasure/business trip, and provided his tour guide information that I sent him about my Turkish friend.  It's a small world after all - the tour guide located my friends in Izmir and via e-mail, we're now in touch again!  They were as delighted as I was at finding friends via the electronic highway.  It certainly beats an international direct dial phone call - HA!  I made one of those too and I'm still awaiting my telephone bill from last month.  How much does it cost to call direct dial from Rochester, NY to Izmir, Turkey and yak away for over an hour during daylight hours ??  Althea said that if it's too much, she'll dock my monthly beer allotment:-).  Curses.

From: Maurice Cammack To: Ron Crocheron Cc: Jimbo Stephens ; ercgreen Subject: Like an Old, Bad Penny - Ron,  You may not even remember me, but I was one of the 6 ops shipped in from Frankfurt in Dec 57.  Tom Stephens, also one of the 6, lives near me and we get together as often as we can.  Until your name appeared, I was beginning to think Tom and I were the only PRE-Site 23 guys left. Most of the bios I read start in the 60 time frame after the site was going in.  Do you have any information on CWO Diehl? If my memory is accurate, I think he was close to retirement in the 50's, but not sure. He may be gone.

We are going to drive to Hershey so we will play the "tourista" on the way out and back. I haven't been reading many stories lately so either all the rest of the guys were good(ha) or they are so old they can't remember.Gary  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: "J.W. Heffner", SP4, 98C, Det 27, 63-64, (Linda), San Jose, CA., jimgray127@sbcglobal.net Subject: flight 93-meanderings.  I just saw a TV show [on ESPN] that had 3 wives and a mother of the 4 that probably rushed the flight 93 cockpit.   ESPN [ESPY] gave them an award because all 4 were jocks.  This brought to mind an old Readers Digest article (re: Korean War) about high school jocks (with football in particular) having a much higher survival rate as POWs and combatants.  Flight 93 gives me hope and reassures me of the survival of our American culture.  My feelings about this give me some insight to the elevation of men and women to the status of Heroes, Demigods, and Gods in the past.  My biggest fear while serving in combat zones was that when the "pucker factor" got high I would not perform well which probably explains the high esteem I hold all the occupants of Flight  93.......THEY DONE GOOD.
