I read SGT Burdick words from July 1965 and he talks about the 9th of April 1965.  The 4 person lost were my room mates.  I remember them be awaking that morning.  The Crew chief was SP/5 Malay and the Gunner was a native hawaiian, I don't recall  his name. The pilots were LT Throne and Chief Bishop.   I will never forget packing up there belonging.  The Gunner and Chewchief were not the ones assigned to copiter, but decided to go anyway since they were ready to go.   Everyone, starting saying "I am not going to be like Milay and get used to much."

Bill,
