I am trying to contact anyone from 524 topo 1964-1966. Whatever became of the 524th. Cap't Miles CO??? E4 Earl Jones, Menands NY and Largo FL

I WAS WITH THE 524TH, 29TH, 652ND AND DMS, WILL THOSE WORK ?

I am new to this site and have been trying to do some research on the history of the 66th Engineer Company, before it was reactivated in Hawaii. It is for my own personal use, because what we have is very limited. Currently serving my second deployment with 66th in Iraq.

I was with the 66th in VN when it was a Topographic Engr Co. I was there when the unit was de-activated and particapated in turning in all its equipment, tearing down the facilities, and destroying it map inventory. Our mission was much more benign than yours is now. I have many photos and 35 mm slides of the unit and persnnnel.
Best of luck to you.

I was in the 66th Engineers while in Vietnam -- May 1967 to May 1968. While with the 66th Engineers I served as the Operations Clerk during the last half of my tour. I am starting to work on a website with more information about the unit and personal items which may be of interest. I'll send the website address in the near future.

Hi Victorm
Im sure i remember you.I arrived at the 66th early october 63 thru july 28
65. I rember a Vic i think from chicago a mike Potacki. My last name is Burke and a guy named Bob Conn started calling me stoney. After a tv show called Stoney Burke. You and Mike broke me in on the sheet fed press as i was a web pressman when i was drafted. Also remember Al Yeager, Puch lomoso, Sgt Brownel. sgt mattox was frist sgt.

About the same time i arrived so did Dave Tatsch and jerry Duvall.
Ive thought a lot thru the years about the co and the guys have regreated not getting addresses to keep in touch. i did see Bob Conn in 1976 in Iowa and looked him up had a nice visit. Keep in touch for awile
and lost contact again. Have looked on the net many times for info on the 66. Not much to find untel i found this site. Im surprised i remember this much after all these years. will sign off for noe hope to hear back.
Ed Burke.

Irw5643 - please inform us if you get your web site for the 66th up. The other TOPO unit in VN (the 569th) has a site but not much activity.
I would very much like to hear from any TOPO Engr's out there - what ever unit you were with.

I am still working on the website. It will not be anything like the 569th website though. It will be a lot more basic.

I was assigned to the 66th Engr Co. (TOPO) from March 1956 through Oct 1958 at Stuttgart, Germany and when the unit was reassigned to Fort Polk, LA.

I was with the 524 at Ft. Hood from Oct72-July74. I think Gartlin was CO then. I remember (getting harder to do that all the time) Ssg. Roosevelt Jackson, Platoon Sfc Frank Beard, Simon Cornell (Chief) and CWO Welcher. I may know muskogeemike.
