Well this is not my home page but it is my dads home
page and I thought you might be intrested in the STC
that he sells for a Rudder Trim & Skylight. I liked your page and story on
the Tri-pacer. :)

Dave I just quickly browsed your site - plan to come back soon. I served with
the 25th for a while in B btry,2 BN, 32Arty, but we
were disbanded at some point. I'm having trouble putting some of the dates,
places together again. I just started going 'back to Nam' (in my mind), and am
about to start looking for buddies, etc..Your memoirs
brought back some of my own. Very well written. thanks, Doug

Dave, A quiet evening. Just fooling around I plug in the unlikely word, Loc Giang, and there's your website. I was there with the 234
FA Det roughly a year after you were there. Moreover,
I was also at Hep Hoa (sp?)
at the old sugar mill on the Vam Co Dong. Your
pictures of Loc Giang look identical to mine. Even
the dogs look the same! Also, our tower also tipped over. It's all quite
surreal.... Best Wishes, Larry

Thought you might like to know The Black Lady Mountain is still there and as
beautiful as it was then or maybe more beautiful. I have been able to travel to
the area many times since 69. Was just there again a few weeks ago and again
rode the skylift up the side of the mountain. The
area is much calmer today. The lady is just as beautiful and the people are
very friendly to a visiting ex serviceman. After going back the people have
begun to recognize me and it feels kinda of nice.
Thank goodness there isn't anymore war there and the
families can live in peace. Whether we were right or the communists were right!
Peace today reigns in spite of both of us. Good site. Curtis

Dave, I enjoyed your description of the AN/TPS-25 Radar system. I became
familiar with the TPS-25 radar system while stationed in Alaska, in 1968. I was
assigned to: Ground Surveillance Radar & Long Range Reconaissance,
HHC 6th Bn 9th INF Regiment (Manchus!),
171st INF Brigade(Mehanized).

Great page! I loved that you had photos of the Tipsy 25. I too used the Tipsy
25 in combat but during Desert Storm as opposed to Vietnam. I always loved how
people didn't have a clue about what the Tipsy 25 was or did. People when they
saw it always were in awww of its odd looks. I
remember one time while doing a static display of the radar a Vietnam Vet came
up to me and made the comment that he wished that they had this during the
Vietnam war. I actually started laughing and then told him that the radar had
been in service since 1953! In fact the Field Manual for the AN/TPS 25 was from
1953 as well. I joined the army in December of 1988 I never thought I would be
working on equipment that old. But I will say this, the Tipsy 25 was a great
piece of equipment and I am still very proud that I was able to follow in the
footsteps of so many fine radar operators before my time. The Tipsy 25 is now
just a faint memory and few people other than those of us who used it will ever
know much about it as it slips further into obscurity. Well take
care sir! It was a pleasure seeing your fine webpage.
