March 23rd AFVN anniversary
This day in history -- thirty nine years ago on March 23, 1973 AFVN signed off the air at midnight, ending years of radio and television service to the American fighting man and woman -- "From the Delta to the DMZ".
The American Forces Vietnam Network -- and its predecessor - Armed Forces Radio Service -- had seven men killed in action during the war. Revisit them now and our other honored dead at http://www.reocities.com/afvn/taps.html

AFN Craig Miller interviews Geordie
Sometimes I wish I went to AFN. The stars did tour and there were lots of interviews. In the 1970s Craig Miller did a lot of them, and did them well. Here he is with Geordie.

Country Express - Bob Tate 1968
Before Gene Price was doing the Country Army recuiting show, SGT Bob Tate was recording it over at Ft Meade. Any more information about the Sergeant? Take a listen:
Charles Goyette had some more information " After listening to him, I pretty sure he was an instructor at DINFOS when I was there in the spring of 1970. I remembered him as being quite capable as both a broadcaster and instructor."

Adventures in blogging
My old workstation gave up this week. There was a bunch of material that hadn't been backed up. Managed to get it off the harddrive and dodged another bullet.
On a lighter note (whew). I have set up a page/group/whatever over at facebook. It'll be the fastest way to find out what's going on and say hi to some friends. Look for "afrtsarchive.blogspot.com" in the searchbar.

LaRita Shelby
Larita Shelby
Last week, LaRita was invited to a special luncheon at AFRTS-BC to celebrate Black History Month. She had had a Powerpoint presentation about her years with the network and is sharing that with us.
If you don't have a Powerpoint viewer (or Office installed):
Be sure to visit her blog: http://bealadyfirst.wordpress.com/
Hello and welcome! I am LaRita “Jazzy Rita” Shelby, the co-writer of the new song Mr. President’s Girl and the creator of the Lady FIRST campaign. This a good will mission to show love & support for our First Lady Michelle Obama. Kicking this off in Women’s History Month is the perfect time because the song also celebrates this defining moment in history, and promotes comeraderie among women. We seek to empower women to be first in their own lives and to encourage them to continue to be (FIRST) Fascinating, Intelligent, Realistic, Stylish and Tenacious in all that they do.
