MAIL-call - PRESERVING FORGOTTEN MEMORIES

This newsletter is intended for the use of the ASA TURKEY Veteran's. The internet has become so
outlandishly unreal that any disclaimer about this newsletter would be redundant. Your memoirs are most
welcome to the DAYS OF OUR LIVES and is an effort on my part to preserve the stories and memories of
ASA veterans who served in Turkey. Certainly it brings all ASA Vet's closer and it my goal is to collect and
to preserve the stories -- that we honor the ASA Turkey veterans and that we educate future generations
about what it was like for us COLD WAR veteran's. When sending an email to me -
PLEASE include the word ASA in the subject line to insure that I open it and not mistake it for SPAM.
Please send along a photo with your BIO that will be included in the DOOL.
Go to http://dool-1.tripod.com to view the foto's in their proper sequence thanks be to Bill Simons, the Det

Have you been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking... surely I cannot look that old?

2004 ARMY SECURITY AGENCY TURKEY REUNION

The United States Logistics Group (TUSLOG), a cover designation prescribed by US European Command
was headquarter in Ankara, Turkey. It was at this point that the Army and Army Security Agency (ASA) in
particular made a decision to invest both manpower and funds in order to have its own capability to
expand its intelligence coverage of Soviet Forces. On 1 November 1955 the ASA assumed Army control
over the intelligence mission in Turkey. Detachments were established at key location. Detachment (Det)
4 was established at Sinop, a lazy city in Northern Turkey on the Black Sea. The Det 4 post was built on a
700-foot hill that sits on the point of the peninsula and overlooks the unique and historic city of Sinop. The
installation was often referred to as 'Diogenes Station', 'The Hill' and officially as TUSLOG Det 4. It truly
resembled the physical ruggedness that most thought existed in Turkey. They endured the bone-numbing
winter winds that lashed the 'hill' that stood like a beacon high at 900 feet above sea level. Those ex-
ASA'ers who were 'fortunate' to serve at Sinop remember the
14 hour harrowing trip from Ankara in the back of a deuce and a half truck or in a cramped and over-
loaded Turk bus through the mountains with Turkish driver's who knew no fear. Their mission was to
monitor the airways and to collect, analyze, and de code intercepted messages originating in the Soviet
Union and other Soviet Block countries. These men were highly trained in Morse code intercept, all of the
Slavic languages, traffic analysis, and cryptography. To support these men, highly trained technicians in
radar, Teletype, radio and crypto repairmen were assembled. The intercepts at Sinop
were set up in mobile huts and in most instances in crudely built lean-tos located on the hill overlooking
the town of Sinop. The antennas mostly were long wires hung between the huts to monitor the Soviet
military units, the Soviet Space Program and ICBM sites via the airwaves from across the Black Sea.
About the same time the ASA was tasked with airborne intercept and ASA operators flew electronic
reconnaissance missions in Navy EA-3B Sky Warriors that flew out of Incirlik Air Force Base in Adana,
Turkey, Det 4-2. There were many incidents wherein the ASA units in Turkey were called upon to gather
and report major international incidents to National Security Agency. The incidents involved were the
Soviet Space launches, the Soviet ICBM program and activities, the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956
and the Lebanon Crises in 1958, the Suez Canal problems, the erection of the Berlin
Wall and the Cuban Missile Crisis that began on 15 Oct 1962 and lasted for 13 days. It is regarded by
many as the moment where the Cold War was closest to becoming a real war. The ASA units in Turkey
were on high alert and those scheduled to rotate were involuntarily extended. The Soviet Missile
Ranges were constantly monitored as were the Soviet Divisions, and Soviet Air Bases and especially the
Soviet Airborne Division in the Georgia Republic for unusual activity that would relate to possible
deployment. For several days in October 1962 the world held its breath as the United States and Soviet
Union appeared to be moving toward nuclear war when a Soviet-led Cuban missile battery shot down a
U2 spy plane. On 26 October 1962, with tensions increasing a deal was struck: Soviet missiles would be
removed from Cuba in return for the unpublicized removal of the Jupiter missiles from Turkey. Det 4-1 at
Ankara; Incirlik, AB, Adana; and Det 4-3 Instanbul, Det 27 Manzarali Station, Det 3-2 Samsun (USAF) and
Det 3-1 Trabzon (USAF) all had the same mission. This reunion pays tribute to the men and women who
served our country as ASA, Air Force, Navy and Civilians and renews old friendship. A special job, well
done, to these cold war warriors who stood sentinel at the edge of the Free World.

picture of Sinop on the cover page brought back many memories. That picture of Don MacKinnon, Bill
Bowser, and me was taken at one of the many Turkish functions we attended in town. (By the way, that
picture of Don was pretty good, too....he looks to be in reasonable health!) I had heard some time
back that Bill Bowser had died. Unfortunately, I don't have any details. He was a great soldier and a top
CSM. We had served in Nam in the early days (1961), so when I learned he was to be my CSM at Det. 4, I
was thrilled. We were a good team. I just finished reading a book Dave Tavernetti lent me: Scotch and
Holy Water by Jim Tumpane. I recommend it to all Turkey veterans. Although it doesn't talk about Sinop
or Manzarali, it brings back lotsa memories of Turkey and the Turks. You may recall that the Tumpane
Company had the base maintenance contract for all TUSLOG detachments in Turkey. Shortly after I got
back to Sinop in '73, Tumpane had lost out the bid for renewal to Boeing
Services International (BSI) which took over that function. Have a great time at the ASA Turkey vets
reunion in Alabama.

ASA (Turkey) reunion for Sept. Although I will be unable to attend, I wanted to offer some info and pictures
in case any one I was stationed with will be attending. I would like to get in touch with some of them. I was
stationed at Sinop (Det 4) March 1956 - May1957; and in Ankara (Det 27) from March 1959 - July 1961. I
would appreciate hearing from anyone within that time frame via email or mail. I have been looking for
information on reunions for some time now and unfortunately cannot attend this one. My wife, Fran and I,
will be driving outside of Alaska to the East Coast on or about 15 Sept. We will be heading south from
there, then West heading for Las Vegas where we will be storing our 5th wheel and truck for the winter.
We will pick it up in March and do more traveling before heading back to Alaska for the summer fishing
season. I have attached some pictures from our Turkey tours and some current ones. Thank you for your
consideration and response. Hello Mr Green, Ernie and I were pleased to hear from you and to hear about
our long lost friend. Jim Houghton was responsible for Ernie and I meeting many years ago. Thank you for
the contact. I am Ernie's "personal" secretary so I will try and answer your email. No we will not be able to
attend the 2004 reunion, but already have it in our plans for the next one. We will be somewhere on the
road in Canada from 16 Sept on our way to PA. We are driving down with our 5th wheel and expect to be
in Salix (Johnstown area) early October. Can you give us Jim's email (if he has one), we will look him up
when we get there. Also, do you live in Indiana, PA? I thought I saw that somewhere in these emails, etc...
I am attaching two pictures from Sinop, one of Ernie's retirement (July 81), and a current one of us.

directed to me that you or someone else involved with a USASA website was lookiing for me to provide
info for a Master Roster. I don't know what information is wanted or where to send it. Would you please
take me by the hand and show me the way? I do remember something like RA16 717 165 as my ID and
drinking excessively on the Hill in 1962. Not others, just me. And a few acquaintences whose names are
elusive, except for Dave Loftus who tried to convert me from a dry drunken agnostic to a sober but very
wet Catholic. That was when our operations sgt had him put me in the cold shower to sober me up. Dave
& I served together from Fort Devens through Ft. Meade and through Turkey. He tried to teach me how to
play Chess and Bridge, with no success... or he was looking for an easy win. Sorry, but my wife mistakenly
deleted your telephone message before I got chance to review it. So what is a "Master Roster" and what
do you need from me? I had plenty of both negative and positive experiences on the Hill and in Sinop, but
am terible whene it comes to names. Let me look at my addresses and I might find another Sinop guy for you.
P.S. A better address for me to receive emails of limited size is: BobBurrierRO@Hotmail.com. With the
BestBurrier address, emails may end up on my wife's side of the computer & I won't know about it except
by chance

Jefferson Township Pkwy, Marietta, GA 30066, 770-998-7420, lindak2@prodigy.net - Contacted on 17
August 2004. Very interested. Dave is a native of Worcester, MA where he enlisted in March 1956 for 3
years of active duty with the ASA. Took basic at Fort Dix, NJ then it was off to Fort Devens for ditty-pop
training. After completing the Morse training - was sent to Vint Hill Farms Station and then it was off to
Sinop, Turkey. Said that upon arriving in Ankara he felt intimidated in that the place looked old and dirty.
Processed in Ankara and then boarded a Turk bus for the long trek to Sinop. On that bus was Captain
Peters, Sgt Van Pelt, Dave Collins and the rest were Turks who seemed to be all mechanics as the bus
broke down several times before they reached Sinop. Considers the year spent on the HILL as a great
and unforgettable experience. Participated in a 3 week signal test in 1958 in the Ankara area. It may have
been at the future Det 27 site, but can't remember. While at Sinop played on the post softball team and
played at Trabson and Samsun plus a few other locations that he's now forgotten. Remembers that a lot
of the games on the 'rocky' Det 4 ball field quite often got fogged in. Others that he remembers are: John
T. McCullough, Lee Scanlon, Tom Abrials, LT Tom Isphording, ? McGrath and Tom Kelly. After Sinop was
assigned as a 058 instructor at Fort Devens where he ended his active duty stint as a E5. Said that his
grandson was doing a book report and chose Turkey as his subject. That caused Dave to go on-line and
assist with the report. What he found was a surprise that he never anticipating finding, a website devoted
to TUSLOG Det 4 at Sinop, Turkey. He was hooked. Was discharged in September 1959 and went back
to Worcester where he worked for Pillsbury in MA and NY for 14 years. Moved to the Atlanta area and
worked in the Food Brokerage business for 28 years. Will not be attending the 2004 reunion, but will
attend in 2005.

I can add a bit more about my tour at Det 4. CWO Tom Hacknrey was TA officer before Wetzel. CWO
George Sentegraph was C/A Officer. I worked as C/A and linguist with Sentgerath. Capt Lynn Berglund
was also there along with Capt Slessinger. Steve Gallagher was my tentmate and yes, he ran the club.
We never ran short of booze. Crosswhite and Crombie were mess sgts. Also in ops a as C/A was Denny
Morrissey. Sfc Joe Sprague (058) was also my tentmate after Steve. It was one heck of a good tour.

Thanks for the invite, I was at Det 4 April 1974 to April 1975 and worked in supply(PFC/SP4 John Drake).
Don't know if I'll be able to attend the reunion but wish I could. I remember lots of faces but not too many
names. The Supply Sergeant when I got there was SFC Rodney Miller and when I left was SSG Barfield.
The roommate I had the longest was George Britton, he was a chaplain's assistant when I got there but
was an MP when he left (Go figure!). He had plans to go home to Miami FL and become a Dade County
Sheriff. The only other one I can really remember was an MP named Jack(?) Anderson, tall skinny guy
that played guitar. He and I were actually stationed together after Det 4 at Fort Bliss, TX at the 156 ASA
AVN CO for a year or two. Keep me posted on events, happenings, and news in general. Thanks!

memory book, but couldn't find pictures of Norm & I know that some were floating around in all of the stuff
the guys sent. You have any easily @ hand? Nothing vital; it's just for fun. I relayed to Norm that, a few
weeks ago, on the same day, I saw 2 vehicles with front license plates that were like the RVN campaign

December 1954 at Somerset, PA. Took basic at Fort Knox, KY and has fond memories of Agony and
Misery hills. Was sent to Devens for Fixed Station Receiver Repair (MOS 1422, later 271). After that was
sent, via troop ship Mann, to the Far East where he spent time at Oji Camp and Camp Drake before
permanent assignment to Okinawa. Returned to the states and was discharged in December 1957 and
went back home to Somerset, PA. Decided that the ASA duty was too bad and re-enlisted in March 1958
for duty back in Okinawa. I won't be able to attend the Sinop Reunion due to a previous committment to
attend the ASA Okinawa Reunion in Colorado Springs. .When you were going through the Personnel
records, did you come across a William Hackett? He was my NCOIC. I have been trying to find him for a

conversations during that event. They finally started making like they were going to lock up, and the last
few of us left well after 3 p.m. I spent a few hours visiting a friend in Laurel before heading to BWI to catch
the flight back to RDU. I think I am already semi-committed to make the 2005 picnic...my friend said I
should bring Sylvia next year, spend the weekend with them, and we would all go to the picnic. I got back
to Red Springs at 1 a.m, and I have reconfirmed that I do not "handle" these 21 1/2 hour days nearly as
well as I used to. Thanks for the photo - not bad for what you had to work with.
Ernie Carrick sent me all the information on the Huntsville reunion, however, I am going to the National
Quartet Convention in Louisville 14-16 September, and there is a "must attend" meeting in Burlington, NC,
to prepare for a church working witness trip to Bolivia in November. Depending on where the 2005 reunion
is held, I will try get to the next gathering. Again, enjoyed our meeting and conversation.

Complex (DSN) in California. They were John Sosnowski and Daniel Blodgett. John is currently employed
by JPL in Pasadena and the last I knew of Danny was that he was working at the White Sands Tracking
Station in New Mexico. The reason I cannot attend is that the number of trips I take a year are limited of
course due to budget. I already have plans to be in Minnesota the following weekend. But if things change
I will let you know. My current address is: 4650 Anille Way, Colorado Springs, CO 80917. I have been

LTC. I had two Jaffe's listed on my master roster & they turned out to be the same 058 person. Ernie
Carrick found Larry Jaffe on 6 August 2004 and I called Jaffe on that date. I knew Jaffe at Field Station
Berlin in 1972 where he was the S3 officer. The following is from my rough notes that I took during the
phone chat. Larry Jaffe was born in 1937 and is a graduate of the University of Miami in the late 1950's.
Enlisted in Chicago in 1960 for duty with the ASA. Took basic at Fort Leonard Wood, MO, then on to Fort
Devens and was trained as a ditty-bopper 058. First duty station was at Det 4 where he tuned a R-390 and
was able to copy morse signals emanating from the Soviet Union, Bulgaria and Roumania. LT Rodney
Kenneth Roberts was his platoon leader [Cpt Don Aines in DOOL#139 mentions Lt Roberts as a member
of the 1960 Det 4 Post Volleyball Team that participated in the MSC Championship at Athens, Greece]
who from thence developed a friendship that existed until Col Roberts passed away

Burnie, MD 21010, 410-761-8783, japajon@yahoo.com - Met Jack and Pat Jones at the 2004 ASA Picnic
at Blobs Park, MD on 7 August. Jack enlisted for a 18 month tour in the regular army in 1947 at Shelby,
NC. After basic was assigned to the Coast Artillery in Panama. Was discharged. Re-upped and took the
battery of tests at Fort Jackson. Test results showed Morse code possibilities. Was sent to the ASA's first
Training Center and School at Carlisle Barracks, PA for training in the Hi-Speed Morse school. Completed
the 1717 training and was sent to Vint Hill Farms in Warrenton, VA to await overseas orders. Top Secret
Crypto clearance was finally approved and was sent as a PFC to Herzo Base, Germany where he worked
as a morse interceptor. The unit was short of Traffic Analysts and he OJT'd there and was awarded MOS
1709. Spent 4 years (50-54) at Herzo. Returned to the states and served at Arlington Hall for 2 weeks and
on 29 January was transferred to Fort Meade where he was assigned to NSA. Got married in 1956 and in
1958 was assigned to Det 4. Bt this time he was a E6 hardstripper. Resided in one of the 10 Jamesway
huts that were known as the "Kings Row." Remembers that the CO had a long handlebar mustache.
Believes that his name was Clark. The OIC of the T/A section was WO Jim Wetzel. Other T/A men were:
Sgt Shaw & Jeff Riggleman. The Ops Sgt was Master Sgt Dynes. Remembers going to Istanbul on the
boat with Dynes and a Sgt Gallager (sp) who was the NCO Club manager. Will never forget the 'fishing'
excursions trips that he took on a
in-board fishing boat that most GI's also rented in Sinop. It was a 20-25 footer and the Turk was well
versed on the use of home-made dynamite to catch FISH. During most trips he'd throw 2 or 3 sticks into
the Black Sea. Most times it was feared that he'd held onto the dynamite stick too long, but he always got
rid of it before it went off. The first time scared the heck out of me and Sgt Van Pelt on the trip. We were
not aware of his dynamite trick to catch FISH. He held onto that stick for an extended period of time. We
were about ready to jump overboard when he threw it. Nothing happened and we sorta laughed for a few
seconds and then the sea exploded with a wave of about 30 feet and flying and stunned fish were all
about. He wanted the WHITE fish and we understood that he sold them at the Sinop fish market. Went on
about 6 or 7 FISH trips with that Turk and cannot remember his name. It was an experience that I shall
never forget as will others who went FISHING on his boat. [Carlos Hunt writes about his one time trip on
that boat- - -gH]

you're doing a great job on the reunion and I know it must be a ton of work. I won't be at the 2004 reunion

interest in this location. regards, Jon

Turkey while I was in grade school. Every once in a while I see a name I recognize from my time "on the
hill". John Heiss took command while I was there and Bill Capozzoli was there also. I was at Fort Devens
September 73 to March 74, Sinop March 74 to March 75 and Fort Huachuca March 75 to July 76. I was a
98J20. While in Sinop, I was Trick One and I did recorders, then moved to Deep Space. In Fort
Huachuca, the biggest project was test & compare the MLQ-24 against the MSQ-103. Both
countermeasures receivers, one just newer than the other. My address is: 1 Petersburg Ct. Oak Ridge, NJ
07438 and my phone is 973-409-4141. I just got word, my Marine son is returning, next week from his
second Iraqi tour, I pray he won't have to do that again. That is some mess we got ourselves in over there.
I know everybody's got their own opinion about that situation. Twice it has personally affected me and I'm
tired of it .(my son is really tired of it). Thats all for now. God bless our men and women in uniform and
God bless America.

W., Hertford, NC 27944, 252-426-2224, chuckgwenm@coastalnet.com. Chuck Molenda's name appeared
on Det 27 Operations Company Unit Order Number 10, dated 26 March 1962 with 81 others who were
appointed to the Permanent Grade of PRIVATE FIRST CLASS E3 with
individual Dates of Rank indicated for each. CPT Alwin H. Sprehe was the CO. I called Chuck Molenda on
30 July 2004 and had a interesting chat with him. He enlisted for a 3 year ASA assign-ment in July 1960 at
Dallas, TX. Took basic at Fort Leonard Wood and then onward to Fort Devens for ditty-bop training. Was
transferred to 059 after failing to pass 22 wpm. Upon graduating, was hoping for duty in Germany, but
because he had GOOD TEETH was sent to Det 27 where dentists were 'supposedly' non existent. Those
with BAD TEETH were sent to Germany. Arrived in Ankara in a Turk DC-3 that had a hole in the fuselage
that was stuffed with rags! Was assigned to Trick #1 where Ralph Stevens was the Watch Officer. Was
the QB and catcher for the TK#1 Flag Football and Fast Pitch Softball Teams respectively. Remembers
Alejandro Lara, Dave Cismoski, Roger Robbins, Dan Nass, Vic Thiedek, Bob Simonsen, and Watch
Officers Jud Reynolds, Dave Tavernetti, and Freddy Frye. Said that Lt John Leopold was one of the
officers who reviewed his OCS application and review at Det 27. Departed Manzarali in June 1962 for
OCS at Fort Benning. Was commissioned a 2LT in May 1963 and sent to Fort Devens for ASA
indocrination and in July 1963 went to Fort Rucker, AL for Flight Training in the OV-1 Mohawk aircraft.
Was sent to Hanau, Germany as an observer for a Artillery Bn there. Next assignment was to Phu Bai in an aviation company. There his company shared a Mess Hall with the ASA at Phu Bai where he ran into Judd Reynolds. Wanted a stateside assignment after Vietnam, instead was sent back to Hanau, Germany. Near the end of that assignment - received notice that he was being assigned back to Vietnam. That was too much and Chuck Molenda resigned as a
Captain and went to the University of Texas at Arlington and graduated with a business degree in 1970.
Retired several years ago as a Vice President of Cox Communications

chance to get together, but you & the folks I met at the first reunion are rarely far from my thoughts.
Unfortunately, Linda and I can not (once again) get to the 2004 ASA Turkey Reunion. I would sure like to,
but we will be with you all in spirit. And my best to everyone there. I have been wondering if you still have
Det 4-4 caps, t-shirts and golf shirts left? Or, have they all been given to the SA? If you do, please let me
know. Thanks much, Jim

USA (Ret.) - Re: ASA TURKEY REUNION - I wish my wife, Judy and I, could make it to the 2004 reunion.
Unfortunately, I have been diagnosed with a serious medical problem (prostate cancer) and will be
undergoing treatments during the time the reunion is scheduled to be held. A diagnosis like mine is a
bummer but I have been getting good treatment at both Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the
National Cancer Institute ... two top rated places. So, all that can be done for me is being done. I feel fine,
still have high energy, eat well and sleep well. I am even working on my golf game with some degree of
tenacity. Frankly, I feel very good. This is a strange disease. Anyway, I will be there in spirit if not in the
flesh when the group meets and, hopefully, will make it to some future reunions. I appreciate all the work
you are doing for the Manzarali Maulers. Running a reunion is not a lot of fun but it does help keep a
group together and, I am sure when you see all the attendees, it will be worth it all. Thank you for your
efforts.

ELINT training via MOS 98J. Then sent to Fort Huachuca, AZ for additional training before flying off to SINOP.
Attended 98J20, SA430, and 98J30 courses while at Fort Devens in 1970/71. I remember our main 98J30 instructor was SSG Wood. I believe I was in the 2nd to last 98J30 course taught at the beloved USASATC&S at Fort Devens.

to him and ask how to see dool #142 and he forwarded it to me. He said to contact you about receiving
the newsletter. No kathy and I can not make it for the reunion. After reading the newsletter I saw the email
address of Bill La Mountain that I was with in Det. 27. I sent him an email and in less than 10 minutes he
called me. The first time we had talked in almost 40 years. Really brings back good memories. So I have
you to thank for that.

that I can bring with me. Look forward to meeting some of the guys and telling lies and war stories with
them. Regards. Jerry

[edited] gH, Some of these ASA Turkey vets are quite the tellers of 'sea stories'. As I learned from my
Navy compatriots in Norfolk, the difference between a 'sea story' and a 'fairy tale' is; a fairy tale starts out,
"Once upon a time," and a sea story starts out, "Now, this is no sh_t," -- hi hi hi, as my Dad and his Ham

to the 2004 reunion dates in Sept. Several things taking place at that time & have to see what I can work
out. Would love to get there ---Sinop & ASA personnel are special. Incidentially, two of the events occuring
in that period involve ASA. Also the AWKs (ASA class & inductees) are holding a reunion in Colorado
Springs. By the way, Jim Boyte lived in my hometown, Carthage, NC. Talked to him a couple times about
the church and his tour there. He extended in order to finish the job. Never met his wife. A great family.
For now, again thanks & keep up the good work. Spivey ( : )

from Andy Wacendak: Hello ASA - Elder. Great to receive your DAYS OF OUR LIVES newsletter. My son,
Andy Jr., brought me DOOL#142. So many names do sound familiar, others I barely recall. Keep up the
excellent work. I must deeply apologize for notmy being at the ASA Picnic at Blobs Park on 7 August
2004. I've had a severe bout of back problems and hemroids are trying to kill me, but I plan to survive as I
love my best buddy Winnie (wife), my family and life, hunt, fish and enjoy our grandchildren! My activities
are in-doors and I try and go to the local mall on a daily basis. Winnie does all the grass mowing on our 6
plus acres on a weekly basis. Older son, Andy trims. Dr John does all repairs as need be! In fact Dr. John
is bulldozing area of his farm. This guy can tackle any job! Say buddy, reference Jack Dunlap - Six of us
NCO's who knew him at NSA went to his funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. Later we were
interviewed by agents from the CIA, ASA, NSA and, of course, the FBI. Elder - Dunlap had a line BS, had
all of us buffaloed. As a NSA courier he could freely travel thru out NSA, ASA and Defense units. He had a
large new fishing boat that he pulled with a new Cadillac, etc., had oriental wife. Don't know how he was
able to get a clearance in 1958 as a lot of my former friends immediately lost their clearance when they
applied for a marriage license. Guess that Dunlap had others buffaloed too. Jack Dunlap was an
infantryman during the Korean War. He earned a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, the Combat Infantry Badge
and 2 Purple Hearts. (Quite a hero???, just like John Kerry???). End of story from me on Jack Dunlap.
There were several hi-ranking ASA officers which I never got along with. Two were mentioned in #142.
Enough said, Okay? Winnie and I were always pack-rats and now are in the process of unpacking
junk/goodies from all over the world!

let you know that a friend and former ASAer in Turkey, who I mentioned to you some time ago, has finally
gotten Email connectivity. He will be in touch with you shortly, but in the mean time, his name is Bob
(Robert) Martin and he was at Det 27 around the same time I was... 1963-1964, or possibly a bit earlier
since we over lapped early in my assignment. Again, sorry we can't make the 2004 reunion because we
are travelling overseas. Hope all is going well. Take care and Cheers! Gary Winch
