January 2, 2022: Reconstruction of the site is complete, I hope, almost every page was missing images. If you ever see pages with missing images or errors, let me know at [email protected]. I don’t routinely check the pages, so error and omissions can go a long time before they are noticed. It could be the computer took it upon itself to trash those images that were not displaying on MS Edge, it seems to be working fine now that I reloaded the images.

December 23, 2021: Discovered a huge problem with the website, a large number of images are missing from the media file, backups only go back 30 days and the problem occurred before that. So, I have all the files and a copy of the website, so I have to find and reload them one at a time, it will take time, if you notice a problem with the website, once it is fixed in about a month (will post when complete), let me know so I can reload from the backup.

[email protected]

August 26, 2013:  Thought I had the Guest Book problem solved, but now I find it is not.  It is taking two tries to send a Guest Book Comment, on the first try you get an error message “Please don’t fill in a hidden text email field”, you then enter the security script at the bottom again on the comment with the error message and it will go on the second try.  Have asked GoDaddy for help, see what happens.

August 24, 2013:  Fixed a problem with the Guest Book, which apparently has been broke since 2010, thought just no comments til I looked at the date of the last comment, it appears to be up and working now.

FitzGerald passed away on February 14, 2012.  He was the last commander I had not been able to locate, I found a potential lead on Ancestry.com and sent his son a email to confirm he was the right Paul A. FitzGerald and learned of his death in his reply.  See details on the Tributes sub-page of the In-Memoriam page.  Also updated the History page with the capital “G” in his name.

 Subject: Request for 548th RTG Images
 
 Good Afternoon Mr. Forsyth
 
 As part of our building dedication we are creating graphic time lines outlining the 548th ISRG’s history.  SSgt Boldand is the POC for the timeline displays. SSgt Boland and I are looking for images from WWII-to present. Would you please ask members of the 548th RTG if they have any images that would like incorporated into these displays?
 
 If anyone has any images, I request that they send them to us in a digital format and include a caption of the image.
 
 Also, once we’ve compiled all the images and captions we will forward them to Mr. Lent, the 480th ISR Wing Historian, for further archival.
 
 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or SSgt Boland at 530-634-9648
 
 Thank you again for all your help!
