Note: July 4, 2008--John has disappeared. He does not respond to emails nor telephone calls. I fear he has become indisposed. He was last seen in the reunion videos holding a microphone and addressing the gathering. Perhaps someone should check on Brother John. He could have been arrested or fallen ill. Hope that he is ok!

July 16, 2008--Eureka!  Received an email from John in re the passing of Ron Nishita. John relates that "we are on it" as far as sending flowers for the funeral and memorial service. John is the newly elected president of the F Troop 8th Cavalry Vietnam Veterans Association and I am sure that he will do a good job. He has a lot of interest in the history of Blue Ghosts and the preservation of its legacy, something his predecessor seemed to be lacking. Perhaps he will post on the message board every once in a while and let us know what he is up to.
