Funny you should mention Camp (now Fort) Wolters. When I was a reservist in Ft. Worth our squadron, MWSS-471, went out there to do rifle qualification one weekend (around 1996 or 7). There wasn't much there, but I didn't know much of the history. All I was told that it was a hoppin' helicopter base in the 60s during Vietnam. Looking around online, I've found a lot of info on it:

http://www.fortwolters.com/Index.html

Here are two different booklets from my Alma Mater, University of North Texas:

I didn't realize so many troops passed through it during WWII. Wish I had known at the time.

Ah, but my dear friend, you do now, and that's what' so important. That's what I love about our forum, for it's continuing education on a daily basis. Thanks for enlightening me too.

There is a 1stLt. Frank B. Snodgrass and his picture is on Marion's website, any relation? It is a long shot but search for 160th and it is probably the last post. Glen Blasingim

Wow, I will ask him. I just saw that. The name is very uncommon, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were brothers or cousins. Let me look into it.

 

Very cool!

He replied right away.

 

 

As far as i know there is no close relation by the name of Frank B.

I've done quite a bit of genealogy research and that name does not come up in my data base.

Thanks for thinking of me... I hope you are well.
