| I found a buddy while going through the 196th guestbook. He was looking for another buddy and found him. We were all in the same platoon in C/3rd/21st. The first person was Ed Maneri and the other one he located was Richie Meluso. Ed told me he located another buddy in Durango,Colorado on a business site with a phone number. He tried calling that number and only got a recording and the person never called back I tried for three weeks to no avail with the same response. I went back to the site and found his wife's name on it and right below that site was another one for a hair dressing salon with the same name and the same town. I called and found out it was his wife's business and was givin his home phone number. This person was Mike Desatnick and is an artist who paints indian portraits. He was the one I believe who designed the Charlie tiger patch and did a lot of the signs at the Tay Ninh Base Camp |

I was going through Eugene, Oregon on a trip and stopped and looked up my squad leader in the phone book. Dave was named for his uncle. Both his dad and his uncle were listed. I called his uncle thinking it was him. I told his uncle who I was and got his address and phone number in Vegas where he lives now.
..but Frenchie... it was a real phone book in their home town  |

I have had some success with ZABASEARCH.COM and WHITEPAGES.COM ...
I'm used to whitepages.com so i use that one first...what i like is that often times there are OTHER people with the same name in a small community so one could take a chance and call the people listed with the same last name.
If no tel number...send them a brief note anyways...if the name is somewhat uncommon you should contact anyone with that name....they could be a cousin or brother etc
Good luck guys.
