Price_Reunion_10.jpgReunion Photos - Dave PricePart of our Reunion Agenda was a "story-telling" at the Old Post Buffalo soldiers barracks area. Retired SGM Wallace Moore was dressed in period uniform to recount the history of that era.

Price_Reunion_9.jpgReunion Photos - Dave PriceAh....the great memories of the FDC tools in Vietnam. The only thing missing is the CONEX container. Without that, the FDC would be out of commission with the jungle weather environment we faced daily.

Price_Reunion_8.jpgReunion Photos - Dave PriceThe FADAC - "Field Artillery Digital Analog Computer". The field artillery's first attempt to use a "computer" for fire direction computation of deflection and quadrant elevation. Didn't prove itself at Ft Sill and neither in Vietnam. We were better with the tools learned at Snow Hall.
