JOSEPH 'FRENCHY' DALMON

Comments: Comments: Searching for anyone who may remember my uncle, Joseph "Frenchy" Dalmon. He was shot down on June 21st, 1951 and that's all I know. There was a report of a parachute sighting, but now that is questionable. His immediate family,e.g., my grandparents and my mother, have passed on and I still don't know anything about him. He was gone 7 years before I was born and it was too painful for my mother and grandmother to talk about till the day they died.

I would love to hear some stories, maybe see a picture or two??

Thank you, Joseph J Dalmon

Anyone remember Lynn Vachon from NH?

Comments: Hi, please be patient with me as I do not have alot of information. I am Lynn's wife. He lost everything in a fire years ago, Before I met him I would very much like to find information for him. Also uniform, jacket etc.. I would like to surprise him. All I know is he served in Korea I believe in 1950 to 54. He said when he first joined it was still called Army Air force. I believe he was also a gunner. Anyone remember him?

49th Commander

Comments: Can anyone tell me the name of the 49th wing commander who was shot down in the closing year of the war. If I remeber correctly, he was the next-to-last POW released.

Any one who served with 49th in hte last year or two of the war should remember Grp. Commander Robert J. Rogers. A truly fantatic officer and person.

Comments: I served at K-2 (Taegu) from March 1952 until March, 1953. Was assigned to the Communications Center which also included the base telephone section. Does anyone remember picking up their telephone to make a call and hear a female voice say "Caravan Rear", take your number and place your call? Sometime during late 1952, or very early 1953 the 49th was closed and the 58th replaced it. Also, does anyone remember the term "Going Figmo"? Would like to hear from anyone there at that time. Also, how about walking the sewer pipe at the old beer hall??
