City, State: Jacksonville, FL Homepage URL: Libertycall.net Comments: I was in VR-24 at Rota from 1966 through 1968. I flew on the C-130 and C-118 crews as radioman. Learned the finer points of the trade from former "AL" named L.I. Kelly. The first C-2A's came to Rota in 1968 and with them we inherited a few carrier-based types like Kenny Maher and Doggie Collier. I saw some of the pictures from the last reunion in Rota and noticed that Pepe Perez is still around as well as Bill and Benny Ferguson. I'd like to hear from you guys when you have time. Best tour of duty in the world.

City, State: Ramona, CA Comments: Still testing. Have updated the format of the guestbook page to allow entry of the guest's city and state, and homepage URL, if you have one. This guestbook is running on a week's FREE trial basis. I can customize the guestbook to some extent, e.g., change colors, header and footer format and add options. Let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks. Dick Prather VR-24 web site manager/editor
