2023 marked our 25th Tracker Reunion and
was held in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Kathy Ennis and Chuck Steward setup our
accommodations. Thanks to you both and thanks to Chuck for the 25th
Anniversary coin. Just before the Reunion we had sad news from the Carroll's. Their Labrodor Dagger had passed. He was a tribute dog to Dagger 150F that served with CTT#4 in 1967. The Carroll's and Dagger were regular attendees to many reunions. To the left are John and Donna Carroll with their new Lab - Sabre. We look forward to seeing them all next year in San Antonio.

James "Frenchy" LaFarlette, passed
away recently and was remembered in our Memorial. He served with
CTT#7/62nd IPCT and was an early graduate of BJWS. While in Malaysia he
became friends with Lt. Albie Kiwi, C.O. of the NZ SAS detachment. Frenchy
and Albie corresponded for years until Albie's death. Frenchy's son, Gregory LaFarlette now lives in New Zealand. He found Albie Kiwi's grave and shared this photo. And that's what the Tracker connection is all about. Then and now. Photo from Gregory LaFarlette |

Francis "Doc Rock" Pierce, Herman "Tee"
Turner and Jerry "Smiley" Williams. All 101st veterans and here to honor
Reginald Sharpe. They had planned to attend a Tracker Reunion for years, but
COVID and the lock-downs made that impossible. This year was different.
Thanks for coming and you're always welcome. Photo from Lloyd Pursley We had our Auction and donated to the Tracker Scholarship fund. Thanks to all that attended and made this a successful Reunion. See you next year in San Antonio. |
