40th Division, 223 Med Co., 1952-53

I am just checking if I could find any buddies that were in Korea when I was there.  I was with the 40th Division, 223 Med Co., in 1952-53.  I seemed to hook up with all the hillbillies.  I'm from northern Maine.  There was a Branch Tryee--a hillbilly that didn't need a mike.  His mouth was big enough.  But a nice guy.  We played cards and went to eat.  When we came back the money was still there.  I don't think you could do that at home.  When I was ready to come home from there it was like leaving home.  You live with someone for a year and you become best friends but are glad to get home.  Love to hear from someone.
