08/24/2007: "Dog Handler Yearbook Project"

I have given Gary a project to work on for me. After the last couple of reunions, he has had difficulty remembering who everyone is in the pictures we had taken. I admit to taking a long time before I get to scrap booking the pictures which doesn’t help.

I would like to try to put together a yearbook of sorts. I’m not exactly sure how I am going to do this as I am not a computer person, but I will figure something out. To get this project started, I have asked Gary to take an individual picture of everyone who is able to make it to Durango. I am also asking him to write down everyone’s company and year group. For those of you who were not there, would you please send me a recent picture of yourself? This does not have to be anything fancy. A casual photograph that someone has taken of you would be just fine.

I would also like a picture of everyone from your dog handler days. If you have a picture of yourself and your dog, that would be great. If you need me to, I can make a copy of the picture and return the original to you. Also, if you would like to write a couple of sentences, or more, about your experiences as a dog handler or your time in Vietnam, I will include that with your photographs.
