My Posting On The 30th Arty Bgde Site That The Son Of Col. L.G. Hergert Saw and Responded To

I posted the following in the guest book for the More or Less Official 30th Arty Bgde Site:

David Robert Crews Sunday, 5/8/05, 9:42 PM Anyone remember 'The Mole Hole' at Headquarters 30th Arty Bge on Okinawa? It was an underground communications bunker hidden next to Headquarters Office Building in Sukiran. I worked in there back during 1970-71. I was Brigade Photographer for the 30th and there was a Photo Lab set up in the Nuclear Fallout Decontamination Chamber to the Mole Hole.It made the Chamber useless for its designed purpose but I printed some great photos out of it. Gave many away to the Officers, Non-Coms + Enlisted Guys in the photos and I hope that my photos still give people pleasure when they pull the pictures out and show them to their grandchildren etc. After the celebration to welcome new Brigade Commander Col. Louis Hergert and his family to the 30th I gave out 90 photos just for that day. I'd be pleased to know if my photos from back then are enjoyed by anyone today as my life heads towards the last Missile Firing Test.

My former brigade commander at the 30th Arty was Col. Louis G. Hergert. His son saw this posting and exchanged some emails with me, which are in the blog post following this one.
