[Received from Rick Holen in June 2019.]

The following is from an email message from Rick dated June 1, 2019.


I wasn't assigned to AFVN, but I did attend the reunion in INDY many years ago.  I did perform at AFVN and I have been working on a documentary about the Command Military Touring Shows that performed in the AFVN studio, many times.  And Star Search program.  I took a number of CMTS troops back to Vietnam in 2001 and Bill [Hunt] came with us.  He did a great interview at the AFVN studio, which at the time looked like it did in l969. I think it is now rebuilt to a new updated studio.


NB:   Harry Simmons took some photos and video of the old AFVN building in September 2015,

and it hadn't been updated as of that date.  Webmaster
