Celebration Dinner

[hotwine]

Wonders, I also learned to appreciate German Rieslings while stationed in Germany as a DoD civilian (AF); small world!

I remember LG Throckmorton as a skrawny little nit who had too much time on his hands. In addition to writing traffic tickets, he also liked to drive through post housing areas and give residents Deficiency Reports for lawns that needed to be mowed. The guy needed a life! I wouldn't name a dog house after him. We all figured he must have been hen-pecked at home.

BTW, I left Bragg in Oct '67 and was assigned to the 1st Cav Div (AM) in Nov; our CG was MG John J. Tolson. He left in July '68 for Bragg, where he was promoted to LG as Throck's replacement. They were complete opposites: Tolson led us through the jaws of hell at Hue in Feb, Khe Sahn in March and A Shau Valley in April-May. We would have followed him anywhere. But I wouldn't care to follow Throck around the block!

So much for the travails of "garrison duty" for a young Lt at Bragg; I couldn't stand it.
