1970/71
Captain Jerry? Jones
Crudaser 36, Frank Sundquist remembers:
Browsing through the other areas I looked under Light Horse
pictures.
The one you have marked as an unknown Cpt with a cav hat caught my eye.
That's "Jerry" Jones, my roomy!
I don't think his first name was Jerry, but maybe George, I'm not
really sure. He was from Pampa, Tx.
When I was driving truck, I went through Pampa @ 4 in the AM, didn't
find anything in the local phone book though.
He came over to us from "Dutchmasters" and was our Awards &
Decorations man.
He also rode as my bullet catcher a couple times and I think he
got an Air Medal/V for his efforts.
Maybe we can make this a search effort.
He left country in May or June 71, cause he was leaving
country when I was going up to 7th AF.
All I can really remember is we had a Mateus wine drunk the night
before we left.
The next morning I vaguely remember counting over 12 empty
bottles.
We rode out of Vin Long in an old Carabue? at the prop line.
I literally crawled off the plane on my hands and knees only to
meet my new boss.
I knew at first glance he was AF cause he had really bright shoes.
