Dave Tedrow emailed me about Steve Ochs death. When I was NCOIC in New Delhi, Steve used to come to Delhi for periodic R&R's from Kabul. Sgt Ochs was one of the most impressive professional NCO's that I have ever had the pleasure of serving with. He served with honor and I honor the memories that I have of him. Semper Fi

At this time last month Betty & I were preparing to drive down to San Diego to take part in MEGA's 10th reunion. This year's reunion was one of the very best, and we would like to thank all who had a part in planning it. They get better every year! Can't wait until May 2009 when we will all to together once again. Until then, Cheers, Jim & Betty Sommerhauser
