Comments: Events I remember: The 3 day payroll dist trips to pay TDY Pers and 900 Koreans spread from Munsan, Yonchon, Yong Dong Po, Seoul and back. Especially when a $10,000 payroll bag almost floated away when our jeep was swamped in 5 ft of water. The difficult 5 day trip to Pusan to find and bring bacck heavy duty jacks necessary for the launching and setting of the connecting steel span of Freedom Gate Bridge. The Bn Exec getting pissed when I painted Baby Doll on my jeep. The 23 rd birthday party my B Co guys gave me and the cracked rib that resulted. The burning of TNT and C-4 to keep warm. The case of VO I always had under my bunk and drinking warm beer at Brit's NCO Mess. I remember most of all "my" guys, jeep drivers- Hansen, Len Silpie(?) and O'Dell (Digger), the guys I had at Engr Tng and Specialist School at Ft L Wood, who were my unpaid demo experts. Sgt Scruggs, Pop, Specs Mattern, to mention a few, and our Koreans- Sake Joe, Baby Face and the others. Lt Geo Bucher (New Zealander), WO Cooley and myself trading GI steak for English Gin.
I would like to hear from anyone else who also remembers me and the good and bad times we had that year. I have pictures of a lot of the guys and remember some names too so, anyone interested please contact me. Ex Lt Al De Leo.

Comments: It's been so long ago that I've forgotten most of the names of the friends I made in Company C. I served in the outfit in Korea from the summer of 1951 through the summer of 1952. A couple of nicknames I remember are "Moose" from Cicero, IL; "Benny Binsack", "Pete" Peterson. We were all involved in the building of the Teal Bridge and the Freedom Gate Bridge as well as a lot of other stuff.
