Comments:Today, Aug.5,2002, I found this site. I have never been informed that a member of the helicopter crew had been returned. I am confused, could you give me more details, like where the remains were located when they were found or returned. Thanks,

Comments:Message to Nina. My father (capt. Douglas Schultz) flew with and was good friends with Herb. He never said much about it, but years ago when I went to D.C, he had me look up Herb at the Wall memorial.

Comments:First guy I met when I came to the company. Liked him from first day. I will never forget when they came and announced we had a ship down and they were missing. Flew many hours searching for any sign but found nothing. Would love to know the story. Another friend gone too early. I believe he was due to come home in a few weeks when they went missing.

Comments:This has haunted me since Jan. 10th 1970 - may they rest in peace. I knew that "ALLEN" was from the Boston area.
I would like to find out if there are any relatives still in the Tewksbury, Ma. area.
