Note… Lt. Col. Mel Swanson also arrives today---to his new Command!?!?
How did Mel arrive??? Did he possibly come with Col. Morris in a fat face?
Pete records the arrival of 3 new men. The list is Mel Swanson, Terry Bolstad, and Tom Stump.

Note…on 19Jan21 Tom Stump wrote this… I distinctly remember bringing an A-1 to Danang without a wingman. Flying over the trail in the daytime with no one with me got my attention. I do believe Terry and Mel came over the same day but on a klong. I could be mistaken but I know I did not come with them. This is good info IHMO
