McKenzie's Raiders

Blue Ghost Scout Platoon, 1967-68. Photos by Victor Cook. Vic was an original Blue Ghost and made these photos while serving as a scout crew chief/door gunner. He had the film developed and sent to his home in Kansas where the slides lay in repose for 39 years. In 2007, his sister found the photos and sent them to him. He had the slides scanned and put on a disc at Walmart, then forwarded them to us for publishing online.This collection was originally on the MSN site and is now in the photo albums.

       Thomas Stillwell posted this in the BlueGhost.com guest book. I think the door gunner was Fred Hersom.  John Shepardson or Fred should know? I remember the event, one of the few times I heard excitement in Doug Marett's voice.
