The book can be purchased from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kindle EBooks and Outskirts Press Bookstore.

GEORGE ORSATTI FEBRUARY 19, 1932 JANUARY 27, 2009 |
| ANNETTE ORSATTI PERRONE wrote on January 30, 2009 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Austin, Texas (January 28, 2009) -- George Robert Orsatti, Trichologist and a well respected member of the beauty profession has gone to the great beauty salon in the sky. He was born on February 19, 1932 in Philadelphia, PA but was destined and determined to become a Texan after joining the US Air force. He proudly served as a Sergeant in the Korean War and entertained his fellow airmen as a drummer in the 75th Air Depot Wing Dance Band. In 1961, George and his wife Rosalie founded Bella Donna Coiffures, a thriving and popular full-service beauty salon. When not making San Antonio women more beautiful, George played drums in dance bands and hosted local radio and television shows. Although a salon owner, George also served as a platform artist, and taught hair styling and color chemistry for Wella International from 1956 to 1969. From 1970 to 1976, he served as a consulting lecturer for Redken Laboratories. It was while working for Redken that George met John McCall, CEO of Armstrong McCall Beauty Supply. John recognized Georges talents and charisma and promptly recruited him to serve as Armstrong McCalls Director of Research and Education. George produced Armstrong McCalls first World Fair of Cosmetic Arts and Sciences held at the Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. This annual event, now in its 26th year, continues to be highly successful. As a member of the International Association of Trichologists, George was a frequent guest on radio talk shows throughout the State of Texas called Ask the Hair Doctor. George made the beauty industry a family affair and in 1978, persuaded his daughter Annette and her husband Terry Perrone to open a beauty supply distributorship in Houston, Texas. With the help and support of George, Annette and Terry purchased a beauty supply distributorship in Houston, Texas. George was later recruited by Redken Laboratories to produce educational events for Redken Distributor Associates (RDA), a Texas beauty supply company that soon grew to become a friendly competitor and rival of Armstrong McCall. In his retirement years, George and Rosalie volunteered at the Brackenridge Hospital Auxiliary Gift Shop but also managed to publish a monthly newsletter for the beauty professional called On the Cutting Edge. George also served as a volunteer advisor to the Texas Cosmetology Commission. Throughout his career, George touched the lives of many and he will always be remembered for his passion and commitment to the beauty profession. In lieu of flowers, the family has established the George Robert Orsatti Scholarship Fund.

Remember, approximately 55 years ago, for many of us, we were on the our first cruise, on the largest ship we had ever seen. Since I grew up in the Texas Panhandle, didn't see any big ships, in fact we didn't have any large lakes. High and Dry. I still remember the Christmas menu. I would not trade the experience of the cruise nor K-10 for anything. The memories are to important to me. The Korean People and many of the guys I served with will always have a place in my heart.

75TH REC, SHIP AND SVS SQ |
| JACK STEPHENS wrote on February 14, 2002 City and State: COLUMBUS OH Unit: 75 REC, SHIP - SVS SQ Service or Relationship: AIR FORCE VETERAN - KOREA Comments: SEE ABOVE Keywords: I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST REPLACEMENTS ARRIVING FROM FUCHU, JAPAN AND LANDING AT PUSAN. FROM THERE, I BOARDED AN AF TRUCK TO K-10. AS CHIEF CLERK, I WAS REQUIRED TO PROCESS ALL THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS THAT CAME FROM KELLY BACK TO THE USA. I WAS PROMOTED TO SSGT WHILE THERE AND FROM THERE, I WAS ASSIGNED TO SEWART AFB, TENNESSEE IN FEB 54. WHAT I REMEMBER MOST WAS THE POKER GAMES USING KOREAN YEN. WHEN YOU WON A POT, IT SEEMED LIKE YOU WERE RICH WITH ALL THOSE PAPER BILLS WHICH WERE NOT WORTH MUCH. ALSO, I REMEMBER THE TWO R AND RS TO ITAZUKE WHICH WERE NICE. LT FRANK SMITH WAS MY BOSS AND A VERY NICE GUY TO WORK FOR. |

Service or Relationship: AIR FORCE VETERAN - KOREA Comments: I WAS AT KELLY AFB WHEN THE 1ST AND 2ND MAT REC SQDNS WERE FORMED IN 1951. WE DEPARTED KELLY FOR CALIFORNIA WHERE WE BOARDED THE USS HASE FOR THE LONG LONG TRIP TO JAPAN WHERE WE TRAINED FOR OUR MISSION IN KOREA. WE LEFT JAPAN ON THE USS PVT JOE P MARTINEZ AND LANDED AT INCHON AND BOARDED A TRAIN BOUND FOR K-2 TAEGU. TAEGU WAS OUR HOME BASE FROM WHICH WE FANNED OUT ALL OVER KOREA TO RECOVER AS MUCH USABLE MATERIEL AS WE COULD. ANY ONE WHO WAS WITH THE 2ND IN 51-52-53, WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THEM.
