Bill, I trying to help one of our Fallen squadron members. Lt. Nick Mergo was stationed with us at Sanford as well as on the Ranger wes-pak cruise. His family is trying to file a claim for Mother and needs any info you may have regarding Lt. Mergo. Evidently Lt. flew several missions trying to help locate a downed plane from our squadron, he flew in second seat.
Rack your brain if you can remember anything and I will provide the info to family.
Bill, are you thinking about going to the reunion in Sept.? Looking forward to seeing old shipmates. don_ddms@yahoo.com drop me a note, would love to hear how things are going.
