We've all heard of Hollywood Marines. Well here's two, Cpl. Jenkins (left) and Cpl. Hagedorn. The guy in the back, I don't remember his name, must have been a boot at PI. (No shades). HQ 3/11 Nam 66.

I just got back from vacation in California and met up with Curt and his wife after 33 years. We got a chance to visit and go to dinner. My son, who is also a former Marine, went with me and enjoyed the reunion almost as much as I did.

Curt and I served together with HQ 3/11 (arty) in Nam. We were both radio (2533) operators. Then we also served together at Camp Pendleton with 5th Service Battalion when we got back to the states.

I lost contact with Curt after we got out. When I got this computer I started a search for Marine buddies and was having a heck of a time locating him. One day my daughter-in-law told me it must be time consuming but interesting searching for lost buddies. And asked if she could help. So I gave her Curt's name and all the information I had that I thought might help. It wasn't more than a couple of days before she located him. I got an e-mail from her saying that he was going to call me and he did. Come to find out he only lives about 4 hours from my son in California.

Curt is retiring from the California Highway Patrol in August of this year. Our mini reunion was, for lack of better words, unbelievable!!!!!!
