    I joined MCB 11 just before here last deployment to Camp Haines in April 1968, we left RVN the end of May.  I was assigned to the MARS station at Port Hueneme to be trained to run the MARS station in RVN. What I remember the most is that I missed my son's first birthday on July 10, 1968. Due to President Nixon's pullout, I was home for my daughter's birth that following December. While at Camp Haines I was one of about 3 or 4 that ran the MARS station full time (24 hours a day). I'm sure I helped a bunch of Camp Haines CBs to call home during that tour ... ( "I love you...OVER").
    It is good to hear that the group has nearly doubled. Those of you in the leadership have done a great job of attracting us to a common cause and interest.
