Bob Omick Information

Comments: My name is Dale Hallett and I worked with Bob Omick at the same historic sight for several seasons. I was doing a little research on Bob's Unit and thought I'd pass on his obituary.

Bob was like a second grandfather to me. He was quite the character and his mind was razor sharp even in his seventies. He told some stories of Korea and one day I brought in my slide projector to look at about 50 slides he had taken during the war. I wish I had scanned them.

If you have any picture files of Bob I'd love to see them.

Thanks, Dale Hallett
