My dad remembers his grandma and her sisters talking about being in Little Rock in the Occupation and at as I recall Ft. Defiance, Ft. Selden and Ft. Union. He mentioned them talking about "young Dougie" but they were older than him and girls to boot so I don't know how much they'd of had him hang around. You know them little boys were pests:} BTW if I'm remembering right this would have been a 13th Infantry rifle company.

By the by, he also said that a lot of officers like to take some of their ncos they trusted with them when they went to new commands cause they didn't know what type of finangling might have been going on before they got there. Had never heard of this but I reckon it was so.
