  Jim,

  Sorry to hear of your condition.  I went through all of my old records that they give us when they clear the service record on transfer.  Strangely, I have nothing for my time in Heavy One either.  I have TAD orders from all other commands except that one.  I'm thinking that I might come across them in another box and will keep looking and will let you know if I find them.  I don't think I was exposed to Agent Orange while in Da Nang but was while at NKP.  Luckily, I have no problems & will be 69 in a couple of months so think I dodged a bullet.  I wish you well and hope that either I or someone else can find something on you at Da Nang.

  I remember you being on that cruise.  You were the plane captain that gave the start signal while I was down the intake of the number two engine while we were on the beach in Cubi Point.  Matter of fact, the skipper was the pilot.  Your picture is in the cruise book.  That was a very memorable experience for me but I don't remember you on any of my dets to Da Nang.  Hope this helps some.
