Just to inform you that one of your members has passed away. Terry Leon Eaker was a member of the 282 in 1969. He was a SP4 and his MOS was Huey mechanic. His picture is in your 1969 yearbook (Black Cats). Terry served three years in the Army. His last duty station was Ft  Riley, Kansas. His rank at his time of discharge was Specialist E5. He lived in Smithville, Missouri. He will be buried on Saturday November 7th with full military honors in Parkville, Missouri. My wife Ida is Terry's cousin.

Everyone be very careful that you don't let seeing "old" faces (Like at a 50th aniversary Reunion) drive you to heart problems. We all wish David Schumacher a speedy recovery after his recent heart problems. Get well soon Brother.

I recently found this site and just want to say you did a great job with documentation on the history of the 282nd AHC. 

I was with the 282nd AHC, '67-'68,  Da Nang, Spec-5.  I was a crew chief and also worked power train.  I recall working with Claude Esther, and crewed with the Fishbeck brothers.  And I can remember the sign on our gun hooch said 'Tony's Pizza'.
