SPECIAL REQUEST Please assist them if you can. Thanks Al ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 23May 05
Hello. My name is Christina Thomas. I found
your site while looking for information on my forever friend Virgil. He
died in 1992 while other pages list him as dying in 1993.
Just so you know I'm not just out for jollies,
I'll give you some info on our relationship. Virgil was always much older
than me but very handsome. I met him at a company my step-father ran for
disabled persons. Virgil was not physically disabled, but was otherwise due
to what he had seen and done in Vietnam. Our relationship began there. We
were both seeing other people (I was at that time in a very abusive
relationship) but our affair turned into years of very close friendship. I
miss him almost daily.
My now husband and I were leaving in a hurry
for a camping trip one day in `92. Virgil called as we were walking out the
door and I let it go to my answering machine. I will regret that for the
rest of my life. When we returned I called him at the Cincinnati VA Hosp.
as he was working there. After much interrogation by his superior, I was
told he died the Friday night he called me. I won't go into those details,
but I live with the guilt constantly. Maybe I could have helped him. I
don't know.
Can you help me find someone who knew him? I
would love to be able to speak or email to a person who knew this wonderful
man.
Please help me. Thank you.

Hello,
I'm Kelly Mayhew daughter of Col. John Mayhew 281st.
My boyfriends father died last year and I'm trying to find any information
about him.
I would like to know if you know anything about his father. This is going to
be a surprise
for him so I don't have much info to go on.
Information I have:
Name: John L. Hawley
He was a pilot or I think he was a gunner.
He was in the 117 Air Brigade or Cave? I know the 117 is right.
Pleiku -- I know he was in this area.
Here is a copy of his obituary:
John L. Hawley, 79, a career noncommissioned officer in the Army, died of
respiratory failure July 28 at Inova Fair Oaks Hospital in Fairfax.
Mr. Hawley, a native of Pomeroy, Ohio, enlisted in the Navy in 1943 and flew
B-17, B-24 and B-29 aircraft in the Pacific theater. His aerial
reconnaissance photography over heavily defended enemy territory prepared
troops for the invasion of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The work earned him a
Distinguished Flying Cross.
After World War II, he worked as a plant supervisor in a Chrysler Airtemp
plant in Dayton, Ohio, for several years and then reenlisted in the
military. He joined the Army and saw tours of duty in Japan, France,
Belgium, Korea and Vietnam. He was awarded numerous Air Medals and Army
Commendation Medals and retired in 1974 as a sergeant first class.
If you have any information please let me know. I know I don't have much to go on. But it's worth a try. I hope you can help me! Thank you!!! Kelly Mayhew If you can help I'll forward your replies. Thanks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 15FEB03 I have a problem for which there may not be a solution. I am trying to get the history on a B-model Huey I flew on as a door gunner in 64. I only flew with that crew for about four weeks but I don' remember the exact dates, nor do I have the aircraft numbers. I know it was just before the M-60's arrived as I had an M-14 for the door. The pilot was a Capt. Garner or Gardner and the crew chief was Sp 5 Scott. I tried Gary Rousch but he felt I didn't have enough info. Any Ideas?
