Rice Paddy Ranger

jerry nye wrote on 2007-09-14 14:21:53.0

Comments: I write a weekly newspaper column for the Lindsay News, Lindsay, OK. I am writing about the Korean War frequently. I would like to know if anyone has any information about a radio performer who had a show on Armed Forces Radio in the fall of 1953. He called himself The Rice Paddy Ranger. He did traditional country music, most of the songs from the Carter Family, Roy Acuff, etc. Does anyone know who he was, where he was from, or any other information about him? Does anyone except me even remember him?

After I left the Army, I went to college, earned a doctorate in English, and taught English in college for 32 years at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, OK. But those years in the 76th were some of my most memorable.

Comments: My grandfather PFC Donald William Hier from Rutland, Vermont was injured in South Korea on 8 April 1951. He was with the 76th Const Engr BN. Not sure what company or platoon he was in. All I konw is that he was a Heavy Truck Driver and was seriously wounded in action by a missle. If anyone has information reguarding my grandfather please email me at benjamin.hier@us.army.mil. Thank you so much. I am trying to figure out what my grandfather did and where he was during the Korean war. He never talked about it when he was alive and now being an Afghanistan Veteran I want to know more about my grandfathers past.
