OK, so I cut off a few lines of the article. I did get in B. J.'a 32 point story to back up any tales he may have been trying to pass off. And there is a profile shot of Brian Shaw, who had a bit of a future in sporting activities, as I recall.
In 1993, Don Russell carried the Roger Welsch in the weekly Clay County News. The Column is just one in a list of things that cause me to take a day or two to write my column for the paper.
My connection to this column is that my last active duty Air Force assignment was at Defense Depot Tracy, a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) facility at Tracy, California where I was known as OTIS (Director, Office of Telecommunications and Information Systems).
One of the 30 or so warehouses at the depot contained a MRE production line, one of two such DLA operations, as I recall. The staff sampled the product a few times, perhaps an unofficial QC role, and I found them to be an acceptable product especially for an operation that was responsible to produce literally millions of these packaged meals.
My experience was from 1984-1987. Perhaps by 1993 the gourmet qualities of the MRE product had dropped off.
