Bob Kay has provided us two 45 min audio recordings he was given of Roger Locher talking about his rescue, the Oyster1B SAR. Interesting firsthand story of 23 days of escape and evasion in NVN. You should be able to listen to them online. Alas both tapes appear to be missing a few minutes at the end. IF anyone has the full recording please let us know. We also would like to know just when and where these recordings were originally made. They could have been from a presentation he made to a group. (8/1/10)
