Mick, & Others,

Sounds like everyone had a good time. Sorry I couldn’t make it to Charleston.

Depending upon several factors, I should be able to attend next year’s reunion in San Antonio. That is only bout 75 miles down the road. At the least, I should be able to drop by during the days. We’ll just have to wait and see how things are at that time. 

I would like to have seen MajGen Livingston again. After I had reverted back to enlisted, and returned from Okinawa, (about late 1970) I was assigned as the NCOIC of the 1stMarDiv NCO Leadership school at Camp Pendleton. Shortly after I took over that duty, we got a new OIC. “Captain” James Livingston reported in as such. I don’t think that he had received his MOH yet, for I don’t recall ever seeing him wear it on his uniform(s). Shortly, he was promoted to Major and transferred to another duty. He was a good Marine and I enjoyed working with him. 

Thanks for the update on the Charleston reunion. Hope I can make it to San Antonio. Do you know at this time what month the reunion will be held?
