Re the question of my grandfather and the 91st.

He was in the 91st in WWI - was inducted out of ROTC and started training at Ft. Lewis in Washington. He wrote extensively of his wartime and training experiences (he was a lawyer) and I have all those hundreds of pages of details.

So ... he was NOT in the 91st in 1968. I am the one who was - just coincidentally I took a joint USA + CalNG commission at Ft. Sill (USA artillery school) after being trained first as a forward observer for artillery. I enlisted on Dec. 7, 1965 - got out after six years of mostly inactive duty. My unit was an artillery battalion using the motorized 175mm gun (yes, gun, not howitzer - we had HIGH muzzle velocity). So that's that.
