| Ken Carlton | rimrock@infowest.com | Hello flight, I served as Bounty Hunter 36 at Dong Tam in 1969. When we moved to Can Tho, I became Boomerang 26 and flew Green Delta 707. I'm working on a CD-ROM project called The Bounty Hunters. I'm interested in hearing from Bounty Hunters or Boomerangs, I have free Long Distant calling on the weekends, lets get in touch. Check this website http://www.bountyhunters.net. |
| Dick Calton | CaltonSanDiego@juno.com | I was a door gunner in the 191st from 5'67 - 6'68, Orignally on Boomerang 019 and later on Bounty Hunter 21. There was a 2-wek period when four of us were sent TDY to the 2/47 Inf. and were involved in a Beach Landing. I'm interested in chatting with anyone who might remember me - for no particular reason - just curiosity. |

Wonderful site and I have marked it in my Favorite Places. I wasn't with the 240th when they and the 191st were at Bearcat, you guys had moved and the 135th moved in next door to us by the time I got to the 240th. Welcome Home to all the Boomerangs and Bounty Hunters, you guys did one heck of a job. If you get a chance, visit our website, we would be honored.

| Harold Stitt | harold.stitt@gte.net | Great site. I was an original Boomerang, assigned to the 191st at FT Bragg fresh out of flight school in February 1967. I deployed with the unit in May and spent the entire year at Bearcat through May 1968. After two weeks in-country training with the Robinhoods at Lai Kay I returned to Bearcat and was dubbed the first Boomerang 17. I was A/C on "Super Ship", the one with Superman Emblems on the doors. My "Super Chief" was Roger Barkley. I have 200+ slides of that first year in country and will try to get some of the better ones scanned and send them along to share with everybody. This is great, I hope more of the early Boomerangs and Bounty Hunters see this site and sign in. |
| John K. Bowen | jbowen1@ford.com | Thanks for the many rides guys --As a young ground pounder with the 9th Inf. 2nd Brigade 3/47 inf. 1968 I flew with you guys many times and always appreciated all that you did.

After unit arrived I worked on night maint. team. Had lots of fun test flying, got alot of stick time. Next took over as crewchief on Huey 130 H model. I had the spare ship for the company. One day I would fly CA's the next lone missions. Some times VIP. The best missions were Navy Seals. I had the only UH-1H in 2nd flight so I was sent to the Seals alot 16 to 18 hour days. When we moved to Can Tho Our 1st CA flight became a VIP flight for the IV Core commander they got new H models. Next I was asked to take over the Core commeders Huey. I stayed on that mission for 1 year. At the end of the year they made the 1st VIP flight there own company. I didn't want to leave the 191st so I was made asst. plt. sgt of the new 1st flight. 1st flt. only flew night hunter killer missions with the Bounty Hunters. I flew every night under we closed the company down in Sept 71. Myself the 1st sgt and Commander were the last one's to send out of the 191st. |

| Roger Stinnett | RWSRZS@aol.com | Bob Heinmiller and I joined the 191st at Ft. Bragg in early '97. We came down by bus from Ft. Eustis. He went right into the gun-platoon and I went into maintenance. I joined the white-flight a few months after being in-country. I crewed 66-827 for about six months then joined the Bounty Hunters and had 66-839. I was with Mr. Sandefur on his last mission. My friend Harold Woods went down while I was on R&R. George Leas and I were beatin' feet to the " Best Damn Bunker in Dong Tam " when the rocket hit the Orderly Room. Little did we know at the time how lucky we were. We had planned on going over to bs with Heinie. Andy Burney - I know you. Dick Calton - I believe you were my gunner on 66-839 for a while. Anybody know happened to Capt. Stack? This is an excellent site - keep up the good work. |
| Roger Stinnett | RWSRZS@aol.com | Oops, didn't mean to enter it twice. I guess I was thinking about the day Capt. Stack was yelling at me because I couldn't get the cannon plug on the Hog's pod connected fast enough the day I flew as Heinie's gunner. If the second one can be removed, do it. Thanks......Roger |
| Roger Stinnett | RWSRZS@aol.com | I guess I'm on a roll today (1-28-00), one more mistake. I crewed Bounty Hunter 66-639 , not 839. |
| Harrell Guidry | kgid@mail.pernet.net | Could any of the original 191st members check and see if they have travel orders with Sgt George Hall on them. |

| Bill Janes | bjanes@microsoft.com | I started this page for the 191st because it was part of me that wouldn't go away.

God Bless the Men of the 191st and their families. It's really one family though, and as Tiny Tim said in Dickens Classic, "God bless us every one." |

Sometimes in mid-1967, you guys picked-up my 3rd Platoon Co A 3d Bn 39th Infantry in an eagle flight at Rach Kien and took us into a hot LZ near Dong Tam. After we made sure the slicks was out of harms way, we gained fire superiority and accomplished our mission. Thanks again! Aloha! Gapol, Former Platoon Sergeant of the "herd". |

I was a Navy Radioman/Gunner aboard T-152-1 from 7/68 to 7/69. Just got my personal site up last month and have created a link to your site. Why not take a peek? I have lots of photos, memorabilia, After Action Reports, etc. www.riverinesailor.com Later, Mike |
| Bobby Gaskin | Gascan39@aol.com | Have one of your former aircraft with the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation. 68-16104, UH-1H, still flying airshows, painted to represent a 1st Cav. aircraft. Was wondering if any of your members may have crewed her. If so, do they have stories, pictures of this a/c. Any help is greatly appreciated. Bobby Gaskin |
| Bob Merrihew | Cen57281@centurytel.net | I was with the Robinhoods in 70-71, but in 68' I was with the 6th BN 31st Inf 9th Div as a platoon leader and I believe it was the Boomerangs that came and helped us out (late April-May?) when we were getting chewed up pretty good in the Cho Lon District of Saigon. Our Company was pinned down after attempting a 2 platoon, on line assault through muddy rice paddies. ALL of the M-16's jammed (wonderful weapons) because of the mud (and inexperience, we were a newly formed unit). If it was your unit, they came and pulled out the dead and wounded, and brought in supplies. Bring back any memories? |

| Carol Kirk | lark@usit.net | Just dropped by and wanted to say hello. I was a nurse at the 29th Evac, later 3rd Surg, in Binh Thuy from 5/69-5/70. I dated CPT Frank Brinson who came down to Can Tho after flying with the Boomerangs. In fact, I first met him while trying to let me have his Boomerang patch for my collection. That was around 8/69 when he came down to fly with the Copperheads. We went together until his death in 1/70. After he was killed, I extended my tour, left Binh Thuy in 5/70, and went to Tay Ninh until we closed the hospital there in 9/70. Finished my extension in Long Binh and came home at the end of 12/70. I just got home from the VHPA reunion in DC and went to visit Frank's grave in Arlington. I miss him every day just like it was yesterday. If there are any of you who might have a picture of Frank they would be willing to share, I would be very grateful. I never thought to take any. ((Hugs)) to all of you. -Carol- |

| Maurice Wilson | asahel49@hotmail.Com | Hello fellow veterans of the 191st. I was also assigned to the 191st from Mar 1969 thru Jan 1970. I was assigned to 1st flight platoon as a crewchief. Whoever did the work on this site did an excellent job, and I've been searching for a link to this unit for over 30 years. I recognize the name Paul Zawicki. He was one of the pilots I flew with if I recall correctly. I was the crewchief for C & C until we moved to Canto from Dong Tam. At Canto We started flying Green Delta flights for IV Corp HQ's. I have a few pictures from there I could share, and I would deffinitely be interested in attending a reunion. I got out of the Army when I left Vietnam, but later on joined back up and made a career of the military. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed back into aviation, and for the rest of my career I was in Armor branch. To this day I consider the time I spent in the 191st as my freshman year in college. However, I was finally able to get a PHD from the university of hard knocks. In January 1981 I ran into my old platoon sergeant from the 191st his name was Mobley. I didn't get to see him anymore after that day though because I left Germany for the Armor Advanced course in Ft. Knox within a couple of days, and he had retired before I returned to Germany from ANCOC. Anyhow I'll be bookmarking this site, and I'll be talking to you occasionally. Until the next time take care of yourselves. It sure felt good to find this site Sincerely Maurice Wilson |
| Melissa Means | mmeans@esc5.net | I the daughter of William E. Smith and a teacher at Hardin Jefferson Middle School in China, Texas.

| robert larsen | larsenskip@hotmail.com | i was with original 29th from ft.devens that went to nam in 1968.would like to hear from anyone who was in this group or any information about my unit. |
| Maurice Wilson | Asahel49@hotmail.com | I read somewhere in the guestbook where somebody was asking about any of the commanders of the 191st. When I spoke to SFC Mobley in Jan 1981 in Germany. He told me that MAJ Danelof had been killed in a training mission after returning from Vietnam. I can't confirm this, but that's what he told me. SFC Mobley was the Platoon Sergeant for 1st Flight Platoon which became Green Delta Flight after we moved to Can Tho. I crewed the Green Delta tail number 804, and flew the G4 COL Grey, a Marine COL for 4th Corp HQs at Can Tho. My door gunners name then was Joel Guiducci. Anyhow just saying high again since I enjoyed finding this site so much. Talk to you later Maurice |

| Dale "Doc" Jones | docdj@oregonfast.net | I know you have questioned a particular landing in a hot LZ. I believe that I was there as I never missd an op with 4/47th. Don't know if you have checked the MRFA site. But if you go to that site then to Historical Operations Report, then click on the date 30 Sept. You will find mention of the choppers and the hot LZ. Don't know if this will help you, but, it might be more info than you had. Regards. DOC. |
| Ken Carlton Bounty Hunter 36 | rimrock@infowest.com | I am trying to help Col Hackworth with some research for a new book concerning the 9th Div. in the Delta. I am trying to locate Maj. Erwin Schmidt, CO after Maj Petric was killed. I also want to contact Bruce Palmer, a Boomerang pilot who was involved in action on March 13th 1969. If anyone knows how to contact them please have them contact me or Col Hackworth, rimrock@infowest.com (435)-656-3551 PS I think Mike Arruti, Bounty Hunter 36, would also know of this incident. He was the Bounty Hunter Plt. Commander until I got there and then was assigned as the Operations Officer for the 191st on 29 July 69. |
