Mr. McGraw,

That's about where I was at that time. I was a Construction Electrician 2 as a communicator for our detachment (Detail Echo) from Mobile Construction Battalion (MCB-9) Nine. The other picture of the tin roofs look an awful lot like our hooches. We established a rock crusher site to facilitate repairs to Rt. One. Thanks for the pictures. All mine are in black and white. Was just looking at my cruise book this afternoon. How strange that I look at the approximate site on GE and find your timely pictures. Thanks again. Skip Westfield

Skip and Mr. Mcgraw, Skip, My SeaBee Unit MCB-1 relieved you guys in April of 68. I was an Equipment Operator 3rd Class. There were 20 ton Macks and Euclids that hauled the rocks from the hill to the rock crusher.Our Main unit was stationed in DaNang. Rremember going through the pass to get there? E_Mail me at melvinator@q.com.A lot of memories. Was there an army tank division just south of our base when you were there? When I was there they got over ran about August of 68. Also, there were a lot of sand pans in the water we had to watch for. It is exciting to hear from someone that was there.

See Ya Bro, Mel Snow
