RonW 0 #28 January 29, 2008 Wow! What a blast from the past. It would be great fun to hear from anyone from the 7th APT. I have nothing but good memories from that time. I think somewhere in the attic I have a box of photos I liberated when I left in 1973. I seem to remember the team was shut down not much after that because of the gas crunch.
