I was stationed in Kumwah Valley. That was where I was last before 
I left Korea.  I served in Korea from July l951 to Jan. 1952 with the 
24th Div. Medical Batt. 1st Platoon Ambulance Co. 

As noted in my previous posting,  when I left Korea I went to S. Camp
Fuji,Japan and I quarterbacked the 34th Regiment Dragons football 
team.

If anyone remembers this or was there at that time I'd like to hear 
from them. I can also be reached by fax at (717) 287-1864.  

Thanks for getting back to me. 
Sincerely,
