I used the blueghost website you sent to me and was I shocked, went to the Que Son site and read the report about me getting shot down on 16 Mar. 68 and even saw the photo of the remains of my chopper, wow! Even read the resuce and even sadley read the report of my good friend Louis Bradley dying in a crash, met him at Ft. Campbell in 67 while serving in a recon plt with th 101 Airborne. Do you know of anyway I can find out how many missions I flew and how many hours flight time I had? WO1 Shanahan was my pilot that day and on my second tour I was with the recon plt of E Co. 3/1 11th bde Americal working off of FSB 4-11 from Dec 69 to Nov 70, anyway while in the bush we would get resupplied by the same chopper, pilots name I later found out was named Shanahan, always wondered if it was the same man, heard after we were shot down he stopped flying gunships and flew slicks, well anyway thanks for the ifno, and a great welcome home to you also. Later.

It is with a heavy heart that I am contacting you and the fellow Blue Ghosts to tell you all that my Ron Nishita, your brother and comrade, passed away suddenly on Thursday July 10th. He was such a fighter and survived so long and endured so much. He lived with the scars of Vietnam but lived a full life with such vigor. From fishing to golf to bowling his perfect 300 game. He wore proudly his Blue Ghost cap and although he missed the reunion, he so wanted to go but his breathing issues had impacted any travel abilities. He zoomed up and down the halls of the VA in his mobile chair like it was a corvette. He didn't wallow in his condition, he persevered. I wish he could have reconnected with all you Blue Ghosts and swapped stories and better times at your reunions. I am crushed by the emptiness he has left with family and friends and I am sorry too that you have lost another Blue Ghost. ~elayne nishita~ 4100 S Desert Spur Lane Tucson, AZ 85735 (520)883-4610                      Ron Nishita
