Note:
Jay is living in Clovis, NM. We don't know what his occupation is at this time. Jay writes; "I looked at the LZ Russell web site and I was trying to find out about LZ Cates. I know we were there but the years have dimmed the memories. We had been in the Ashaw valley during operation Dewey Canyon prior to coming to Russell."
