Webmaster: Willie White had just left the 143rd when I arrived in '87. When I met LTC Cox, [who had apparently really liked Willie] he thought Willie was back, and lots of people mentioned a resemblance. At the "Hail and Farewell" it was the same thing. Oddly enough for a popular guy, no one had a picture of him. When I finally saw one, years later, there was almost no similarity except the Army-issue glasses. THIS is me on the left-see what I mean? No resemblance. A guy in 2nd Bde, at Gelnhausen, named Glass was also said to look like me [WTF, are these clones?]

We got the truck stuck on a hump-4 wheels in the air! We made a fulcrum and lever out of logs and I actually am lifting the front of the truck in this picture. School was good for something!	A tower somewhere in the woods.	The countryside.
