Trying to locate info on Ted Eppers who served at Utapao, Thailand back in 1971. I believe later he was assigned somewhere in VietNam. I attended class with him at Lowry AFB, Denver Colorado from March 1971 to May 1971 when he was shipped out to Utapao. I heard he may be deceased, but I would like to know for sure. I have a picture from back in 71, but no recent pics. Any info is appreciated.

We just redone our photos albums which included photos of my 1970-71 tour in U-tapao. Photos are great but having access to films from that era is much better. I was attach to 635th suppy squadron & assgned to work with the 635th Engr. section. Separation from family was hard but I along with others manage to complete our tour.
