Subject: Looking For 79th Engineers
My father, Gerald Youngquist, was a Staff Sergeant with the 79th
Engineering and Construction BN in 1951. He was at Eniwetok Atoll.
He and several others are trying to organize a reunion for Fall 1996.
They are having a hard time locating other members of the 79th,
and would like to contact anyone with relevant information.
According to my Dad, the 79th was part of the 24th Group, but
not attached to a major unit.
He can be contacted at:
