Black Widow 36, Major Richard Green, was the 2nd flight platoon leader with C/101 in 1968-69. Richard came on board in 1992 to help Bob Crow locate former Black Widow veterans. In 1998 Richard volunteered to put our newsletter together, along with the duties of newsletter editor and treasurer. Newsletters go out periodically throughout the year. Dues are $5.00 a year. If any of you guys are wondering why you haven't received your newsltter, it's because you have failed to mail in your dues to Richard Green.

We are always in need of stories from you guys who were there. We also need copies of your awards or protion orders, which list other names, to help us locate other Black Widows that we don't know about.
