Jim Castro, I knew a lot of the guys in the 687th when it was formed. In 68 I was in the 87th Engrs. When they went home in Jan. 69, they took all of the earthmoving plts. and made them into the 687th. In 69 one plt. of the 687th was at Phan Rang re-equiping, I went over and found a bunch of my buddies from the 87th. I haven,t thought about the 687th in a long time.

My name is Jim Casto, I started out with the 687th Landclearing Co. under the 18th Engr Bde, 35th Engr Group from June of 1970 to Nov or Dec when the 687th De- Activated, I transfered to the 84th Engr Bn, D Co in An- Khe, We moved from An-Khe to a place I called Con-Soom, I may be saying it wrong. Con-Soom was located in between Nha-Trang and Bamethout just above the Nha-Trang Pass. The whole D Co, 84th Engr Bn because we moved so far from An-Khe now became C Co, 589th Engr Bn, I never met anyone from any other Co with-in the 589th Engr Bn and never even knew where Bn Headquarters was located. When I left Viet-Nam in April of 1971, Co C was still in Con-Soom. The Company Commander went by the name of Croft, Captain, I was A 62B20 Heavy Equipment Mechanic and the Motor Sgt Was SSG Nettles and the Motor Pool Officer was CWO Grovenberg. Does anyone out there remember any of this?
