unknown unit, 506th

From Frankie Caryl [C Co, 1st ABG, 1960-1962]: looking for the owner of the 1956 48-foot yacht named "Currahee." I follow old well-built wood sportfishers. One of the better names is Rybovich yachts. In looking for a particular one, a 1956 48-footer originally named "Chevy Clipper," I found, in the registry, that she is renamed "Currahee". Sure sounds like one of us has her. I have done extreme renovations on a dozen or more old large sportfishers, and this boat had caught my eye as it needed much of what I do. It is likely that this person lives along the Atlantic Seaboard, most likely in Florida. I have information and skills that he might be interested in. At the least, he and I could enjoy a good conversation about those old boats."

506th (Vietnam)

The family of Marcus L. Parker, Jr. (506th company/battalion unknown) would appreciate information from anyone who served with Marcus in Vietnam. Marcus died in a car accident in 1991. Send an eMail to Bill Willey (B Co, 1st ABG, 506th, 1960-1963) at william.e.willey@navy.mil, and Bill will relay the information to the family.

From Robert L. Larkin: Looking for Currahees or the family members of fallen Currahees who participated in combat action in Vietnam. I am writing a book in which I will feature the stories I am told. These stories will not be edited by me or anyone else. If interested please send an eMail to: robert.l.larkin@gmail.com or visit the temporary site for the book: www.freewebs.com/thebloodofpatriotsvietnam. I hope to make this a project you are all proud of and thank you for your service to our great country!

We were both wounded on Dec. 6, 1970, and I have not heard from him since. Our home base was Camp Evans. I would really like to locate him. I think he was from Detroit.
