Sgt Joe Cook poses with two Vietnamese children. The boy next to Joe spoke English; his name is "Co" and he is wearing Joe's hat (backwards, naturally). The boy in the white shirt is Con Tin. Picture taken before our 'B" Battery ever went to the field to stay. Date, approximately January 1966. Joe is sporting a new haircut from a Vietnamese barber.

Ronnie Mashima was a cannoneer in Bravo Battery with me and Danny Fort. He wanted very much to come to the reunion but was unable to. He sent 3 coins to me. He wanted me and Danny to have one and someone who remembered him to have the other. John Bowden remembered him well. Ronnie wanted in some way to be represented at the reunion.
