I was a demolitions specialist working with Lt.
Robert "Tex" Owen, my unit commander, on K-6 (Pyongtaek) airstrip and on Paris Mountain, Mochan, Korea, 1952-53. Writing a book about SCARWAF, our combat engineer outfit, and looking for memories. Have tried contacting Owen and had no luck. He is about 74.
I seem to recall he wore his .45 in a cross-draw position, but don't quote me. However, he was from Texas.

Comments: Arrived Lackland 10 May 1950, waited ten days while enough enlistees arrived to compose a Flight. DI was SSgt Jude and assistant was PFC Woods, SIR! He could sail a blue P___pot helmet 75 yards and hit his target everytime. Was on the 2nd floor open bay of Barracks T-1428, fourth bunk, top berth, left side. Remember we had unfortunate circumstance of one of our members drowning in one of the base pools as he apparantly either sleepwalked or stepped into the water while pulling night time guard duty... as we learned our "Halt, who goes there?" routine. Don't remember the name but remembeer the circumstance well. Some names are Linus D. Bonham from Arkansas, Russell Don Kelly from Arkansas (heard years later that he was a county sheriff for many years back in the Ozarks) James Smith from New York..my squad leader. Junior Porch from Indiana, Polzin, Bradshaw, Vanepps, and a couple with Military High School training and because of them helping us; we won the BMT honor flight several times for Sergeant Jude and PFC Woods, SIR! Got a lot of old pics and some old yellow memographed orders with all the Flights names. We all were supposed to go to tech schools from BMT, but when the Korean conflict began we were nearing the end of our training and ALL were shipped out to wherever we were "needed" most.... really was looking forward to a Control Tower Job but instead went straight to Weaver, South Dakota on a troop train to walk point guard around B-29s and B-36s in piles and piles of snow on Rapid City AFB (Renamed Ellsworth in 1953). Hey, anyone remember any of these names, or wanna swap lies and war stories gimme a holler.
