Easy Smith: Mini Reunions
Over the years Easy has connected with Wolfhounds from the past. Here are some of those "mini-reunions".
Henry L. Dunmore
I had been searching for Dunmore for 40 years. I never gave up hope in finding him. The delay in finding him through all my searches was due to the fact that I was looking for Lawrence Dunmore. Atl least that was the name I wrote on the picture in Vietnam in 1967. Searches led nowhere until, one day I noticed a Henry L. Dunmore on the Wolfhound Alumni. Well, I thought the "L" was for Lawrence. At the time there was no indication of an email until one appeared in late 2006. We connected over the internet and phone conversations and we remembered each other. Then on a trip to Washington, D. C. in July 2007 I finally saw him while visiting another Wolfhound (Jim Hauser).

Al Dabalos
I was contacted some time ago by Merrill Sellers about a Wolfhound in Sacramento named Al Dabalos (A 2/27 1970 & 196th Inf 1971).
Al moved out of state before I got to meet him. We finally met at the 2007 Reunion in Lexington, Kentucky.
Sam Hartsfield

Luther Ingram and Henry Dunmore
In July 2008, Luther Ingram, Henry Dunmore, and Easy met together for the first time since 1967.
Calvin Birdsong
Calvin Birdson, Anthony "Doc Tony" Tasconie, and Bill Allen pulled me back to the tree line when I was wounded on September 4, 1967. I found Calvin and visited him for the first time 41 years later on July 30, 2008.
