4/12 INF (M), BAUMHOLDER FRG 1989
Here are some more fellows who were there for the redesignation from 1/39 Inf (M) back in 1989:
LT Harris Clarke – he came out with the COHORT unit from Colorado and went to Delta Company, where I believe he still assigned at the beginning of our 4/12 Inf (M) days. He left active duty in the early 1990s and is out in Washington state these days.
LT Jim Lee – If I'm not mistaken Jim had been in Korea before he arrived in Baumholder; he was already a 1LT when he arrived so he'd been around the Army a while. Last time I spoke to Jim he was at Fort Huachuca and on his way to an assignment in Hawaii. Pretty sure that he'd just been promoted to LTC at that point.
LT Mike Munoz – Mike had a line platoon (Delta Company?) and was an anti-armor platoon leader in Echo Company 1/39 Inf in mid-1989. He too left the Army in the early 1990s, got an MBA and has taken on a series of interesting business turnarounds in the US and Japan. Spent some time as a senior administration office (Assistant Deputy Secretary?) in the Department of Education in Washington. Last word I had, he was moving the family from Chicago to Missoula. I could probably reach Mike via Nate Smith in Denver.
LT Steve Winterfeld – Steve and his wife Jennifer stuck it out for 12 years on active duty but eventually went back to the private sector. I believe he's still in the Reserves and I know he was promoted to LTC a few years back. They're in Colorado these days and by all accounts are doing well. They were good folks, kept me out of trouble back in Baumholder, and we generally touch base once or twice a year these days.
By the way, you can add you name to the roster while you're here!
