Bill Frede flaflash7@aol.com In RivDiv112 with Chief in 1967 9395 Nelson Park Circle Apt 303 Orlando, FL 32817 USA BMC Bannister was a "Man's Man", he was a strong individual, a leader of men, I was totally shocked when he was our first casualty. I originally was assigned to the CCB, but the Boat Captain of T-112-2 and his radioman couldn't get along, as I was the radioman of the CCB they had us swap boats. God bless Chief Bannister, you are not forgotten. Tuesday, November 13, 2001
