SSG Ripley was my mentor in the 509th USAAD in Vorden West Germany 1084-1986. I got there as a PFC, waiting for my clearance, so they put me in the mess-hall. I stayed 4 months and he taught me to cook. I loved it and still use his ideas during my meal preps. He was a great friend not only to me, but also his US Workers, Pvt Ramos and SPC Cox. His local staff of Ingrid, Chrisel and was exceptional too. I miss him.
