New "Corner" - My Most Unforgettable Finance (NC)Officer

742, 14 Mar 2013

Earl Daniels has made a great suggestion for a new "corner" on the RAFINO Website:

Here is my idea to capture and preserve stories about unforgettable characters we have encountered during our careers. Probably throughout all our careers all of us have come in contact with individuals who have had a positive influence on our lives by virtue of their character or actions. I believe there are some stories worthy of documenting for retention in the annals of our Finance Corps history. There are stories that if we do not capture them now, will be lost forever.

Three individuals who I personally knew with stories whom I believe warrant preserving are:

CWO Robert Viser - Last serving Finance warrant officer
SGM Dale Johnson - By today's physical standards could not serve in the Army; but, one of the wisest men regarding human nature I ever knew.

I am sure you have interesting stories regarding Unforgettable Officers and NCOs that warrant documenting. If we don't do it, these stories will be lost forever.

Let me know what you think. I have written my story on LTC McGuire

We know our membership has these stories. All we need to do is collect, publish, and preserve them. Go back through your years in active service and try to recall those whose story belongs on RAFINO.ORG. Write it up in a word processing document (Microsoft Word or Open/Libre Office writer and submit it to your webmaster:

If you do not have the ability to produce a word-processed document, you can type/write it up and send it to Robby Robson's home address
