Received a call from Bob Webster requesting that anyone who knows Larry Geer to give Larry a call. Larry is battling lung cancer and is not doing well. I am sure Larry would love to hear from you. Even if you didn't serve with Larry, I am sure he would love to hear from any member of the 282nd.  Larry's phone number is 503-750-5994.

Billy D. Hill, MIA Jan 21 1968 at the Old French Fort in Khe Sanh, has been recovered and positively identified by DNA according to his cousin, Judy Hill. DPAA told the family that a bone collector from Quang Tri Province was caught at the airport with Bill's partial remains and they were turned over to US officials in 1989 with no information. Funeral plans are incomplete, but planned for December 17th, Bill's birthday, in Killeen, Texas. All Black Cats welcome. Judy has asked for personal stories from anyone who knew Bill personally. Contact me for her email address.

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.
