The top of the current longevity chart after we lost two that exceeded them last year are:

Col Lewis L Millett WWII, MOH Korea, 54 years

William Dereschuk Korea, 53 years

Russell Morgan Korea, 51 years

A bit of data on COL Millett:

http://www.medalofhonor.com/LewisMillett.htm
"COL Millett became heavily involved in the Special Operations community following his service with the 101st. He helped establish the Vietnamese Ranger School and the Commando training program in Laos before moving to the Command and General Staff College."

Jeff Johnson died Wednesday, January 19, 2005. Services were held beginning the evening of Wednesday, 19 Jan, and for the next five days at Wat Chonlaprathan in Pak Kret. The cremation took place at the same Wat on the afternoon of Monday, 24 January.

Jeff was the 'facilities' man for Air America, putting together most of the STOL airstrips up country and stayed on in Thailand where he was involved in manufacturing and other business activities. "Ole" was at his Christmas Party in BKK this year and he appeared to be in fair shape then. He was one of the principals in staging the 'Return to SEA 2002' meeting which resulted in a $900+ donation to the Post building fund and was active, along with Mac in setting up the event planned for 2005.

28 September - ChinaPost1.COM and ChinaPost1.NET can both now be used to reach the China Post 1 homepage at ChinaPost1.ORG (technical mumbo-jumbo, I know, but this should make things easier). In the future we may use the .com account exclusively for Post Sales and the .net account for Members Only. Just a thought.
