Minutemen Brothers and Sisters,

I regret to inform you of the passing of Mrs. Linda Smith, beloved wife of Malcolm Smith, EO3, who was in Det Barracuda during the 3rd Vietnam Deployment, March - November 1969.

Linda was a terrific Lady with a super personality who accompanied Malcolm to many of our reunions in Hampton, Virginia and Gulfport, Mississippi. She will be missed by all who knew her.

To view her obituary, go to the Wetzel Funeral Home website listed above or send me an email and I will forward it to you. Alumni Group Members can log in to Link 21 on our website to get Malcolm's address. Non alumni members can send me an email and I will email you his address.

served in 62 from 73-77 in B an C Co. Arrived in Guam on New Years eve. 73, WOW, how life changed that night over a screwdriver. Made the mistake of letting them know I could type, an was made Co. clerk in B Co. till we returned to Gulfport. Stayed pressed an shined an some how stayed out of trouble so in turn was able to go on great details. To this day I still have dreams of being in 62 but always missing part of my uniform. I'm looking for Tom Gasparro, (Jasper)from Philly

I was assigned to NMCB-62 in the fall of 1973. After A school in Gulfport, MS ( first place I ever saw pop machines stocked with beer ), I aws shipped to Guam for the end of the tour. Went on to Oki, Rota Spain, and then Diego. I left Diego early as my time was up. Overall, my experience was a love/hate one where I loved the work but hated the military environment. I guess that's why after I got out, I enlisted in the Army Reserves for a year and then on to the Iowa National Guard for 6 more - did not get enough time in to retire with pay but learned that I could learn to enjoy the environment.

Was an SK3 at Dong Ha in 69 and & Freedom Hill & Red Beach in 70 under JPJ. He had a great group of Officers and Men to work with and he always got the best out of all of us. Reflecting back to those days you just knew he would make Admiral. Many a day we worked 18 to 20 hours a day and to the men of 62 we could do it again under John Paul Jones. You helped make real men out of us. May you rest in peace Sir9
