I was the genesis of the motorcycles and the Frosty Mug traditions at RTW.  I was, and still am a rider, although its mostly sidecar rigs now.  I had first met Tom (Morrison) on the Rock prior to his retirement from the Corps.  He told me he planned to go to Barstow and marry a widow who owned a bar called the Frosty Mug.  I knew nothing about Barstow at the time but received orders there when I rotated back to the world in May 68.  I was assigned to N0RTW after football in the fall of 68. Larry Wuergler was CHOP and Jimmy Kuhl was the man who did it all.  My primary MOS was 5931 (Ground Radar Technician)  and I didn't know anything about MARS.  I hadn't heard about it when I was in country in 67/68.  I have many fond memories of N0RTW and am sorry that Wurg and Capt. Kool have passed.  I was also good friends with Billy Biggs and it could have been me with him when he had the accident since we rode that road often on our bikes.

I hope Chris (Christianson) is well. We had good times and he was the halfback on the football team.  He wore my suit when he married his wife Sandy.  Sorry we didn't serve together Dan, it would have been fun. Semper Fi, Bill.
