I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THE CONSTAB HISTORY AND THE ROSTER FOR THE 14TH CONSTABULARY  REGIMENT, COMMUNICATION PLATOON. THE ONLY NAME I REMEMBER ON THE LIST IS GAFFNEY CAPT.  I AM TRYING TO REMEMBER SOME NAMES AS I WAS THE TELETYPE OPERATOR IN THE 14TH, HDQTRS TROOP. COMMUNICATIONS.  I REMEMBER TWO RADIO OPERATORS BECAUSE WE WERE CLOSE IN AGE AND WHERE THEY CAME FROM. THEY LIVED IN CONN. ONE WAS NAMED JOSEPH VITALE AND THE OTHER WAS NAMED JOSEPH ANNUSKOWICZ. THE TELETYPE MECHANIC WAS DANTE SCOPPATULO WHO WAS MY ROOM MATE. IN FRITZLAR. THERE IS NO ONE ON THE LIST THAT IS THERE THAT I REMEMBER.

WE WERE THERE FROM 1946 TO 1948, MAYBE THAT IS WHY.  I ALSO REMEMBER THE MAN WHO WAS THE DECODER AND HE WAS AN HAWAIIAN NAME ROBERT ABE. IF I THINK OF ANYMORE I WILL LET YOU KNOW. I READ THAT DANTE SCOPPATULO HAD PASSED AWAY, EVIDENTLY HE WAS A CONSTABULARY  MEMBER, BECAUSE I READ IT IN THE CONSTABULARY PAPER.

GOD BLESS
