These photos were sent to me by Godfrey Garner who was with 513 from August of 1967 through August of 1968. Godfrey was with Hinds University for a while. He is now with Special Forces and will return to the USA in a couple of months from his THIRD tour of duty in Afghanistan.  How do you do it Godfrey? Her is a brief description that Godfrey sent to me about what he has been up to as of 8/6/2006

 Before I returned from this last activation, I had applied for and was accepted to teach on a Pima Indian reservation down by Tuscon but when I got back home, a couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine with the State Auditors office asked me to interview with them to work on a task force they're forming to investigate FEMA Katrina related fraud. They're going to give me a final say-so tomorrow. I'll either be moving to the gulf coast to work with them or heading out to Ariz.. Either way, I'll be relocating in another week or so. Up until 9-11, I was director of Criminal Justice studies at a local college. After we came home, I married Jack Anderson's sister and we were married for 17 years. I have a son who's a USN Prowler pilot, and a daughter who's an attorney and married to a USN F-18 pilot. They're in Fallon Nevada. Been married several times and have a bunch of wonderful kids...my youngest being 15 and lives with me. I joined 20th Special Forces, a Mississippi Army national guard unit when Desert Storm broke out. Went in as an E-4. I'm an E-7 now and will retire in Aug. unless they send us somewhere else and put a stop-loss on. I do Intelligence Analysis for the team.
