My Name is Gary Grainger. I was a member of the 402nd Transportation Company from May 1968 to June 1969. I was a crane operator at the Cogido Barge site. |

I was loading an S&P flat bed at Cogido Barge site. I noticed the driver got out of the cab and got something to drink. When he came back, I recognized him as Bobby Farrah, the chief of police's son from my home town of New Smyrna Beach, Florida. When Bobby got back in the truck, I bounced a load of 105 rounds on the trailer about three times before he came out of the truck again. He was shaking his fist and threatened to remove me from the crane. He yelled that he would bounce me on the trailer and see how I liked it. Bobby, at the time, was about six foot two and about 190 to 200 pounds and mean looking. I yelled down at him and let him know real quick who I was. Then we laughed and I bought him a Pepsi. I wish I had a camera that day - the look on his face was a photo moment for sure. |
