Jim Denney Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Bob, I'm trying to remember you. I was in the 36th from around Sep 74 to around Aug 75, even ended up in 37th, or 38th for a short period of time. I was there when they started moving the 36th TAS to McCord. Anyone ever hear from Bob Grindrod, Wilber Nelson? HB Marsh was my boss in the 36th. I had a friend, Charlie Scheffler, a Crew Chief on Herks. I went to KDOV on C-5's after Langley. I was in the 37th from 1 Nov 69 to 22 Aug 73 Bob Daley Edited January 29, 2012 by bobdaley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizzard Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Oh, boy................That weekend is typically one of the biggest sales events for my wife and my 18th century reproduction business. It is at some place called Mount Vernon.......so we may be able to be there through Thursday, but will have to come home, load our stuff up and get down to Mount Vernon to set up on Friday. Talk about a bag drag, but I sure don't want to miss out on Hampton.......... Giz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC10FE Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Anyone ever hear from Bob Grindrod, Wilber Nelson? Jim, Bob Grinrod ("Rug") was a CMSgt at Rhein Main when I was there (1977 -- 1983). He showed up in the early 1980's. He was the chief FE in the 37th and then went to Wing as the chief FE in Stan/Eval, or maybe it was the other way around. I also worked with him working part time for Flying Tigers servicing a MAC Charter 747 that transited the base once a week. He drove a really neat Honda Gold Wing. Lost track of him when I left. I remember a Wilbur Nelson as an FE on HC-130P's at Kortat RTAFB in Thailand. Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Haines Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 The 2013 reunion for the 316th is scheduled for June 25 -30, 2013 at the Hope Hotel at WPAFB, Dayton, OH. Because of scheduling problems and rise in hotel rates, this is the best I could work out. I will be sending out more info as I get it.
