Henderson and Crow - if you guys would have left an email address we could have connected you with other handlers from Ubon. As it stands - there is NO WAY to contact you. Please everyone who post a message - LEAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS so someone can get back to you! We sure would have loved to have made contact with you

Some great pictures. I thought I took a lot of pictures when I was there, Jim, but I thought your collection was very good. I only wish I knew some of them!

Interesting to see that we all visited the same places. The area was more developed by the time I got there but the history portrayed in these pictures is priceless. Thanks for letting me view them. Visit Pete Williams site for updated pictures of Ubon and the K9'ers. Rick Matott Ubon K9 73-74
