Spur Researcher Needed!

Posted on June 2, 2011 by Roger Young

Bear / Clayton :

Please see the correspondence from the National Archives [below]. Charles Stutzman and I are contemplating visiting there prior to the Reunion next April.  However, if someone resides in the Maryland area, perhaps they would be willing to spend some time there researching the records to see what “official” documentation is available on A Troop. (We suspect this is Squadron info and not specific logs, etc of our Spurs).

Please send out a request for a volunteer to visit the Archives.

Bill McCalister,  Spur 24

UPDATE: Dave Tela, Spur 38, has volunteered to do the research at the National Archives! Thanks Dave – Bear

    I have attempted to post as much troop history as we have available on our Spur site which is pretty significant from 1967 thru 1969. The big void is in 1970 & 1971 where the troop historical records have never been located, if they were kept. I’ve attempted to do my part and thought I had.

    Once again Roger another teriffic job keeping the Spurs together and getting the word out. I’m sure all will appreciate the information. Hopefully we 70-71 Quan Loi Spurs will get off our duffs and get some history to you….I know that I have procrastinated. I do know that Dave Tela, Paul Clergy, Tommy White and Morgan Miller could be big prodoucers for the cause….
    Pat,
    Good to see your name appear! I hope all is well with you after all the years gone by!
    Incidentally you still owe me about $300 bucks from the poker game we had the night before going into Cambodia! I’ll take full payment if you by the house a round at some Spur event in the future!
