    I found this while searching for members of the Thomas J.Allen Ranger Training Class of 1965 , Grand Canyon NP, Arizona. J.B.was one of my roommates. I hadn’t seen him since. He was a great character. Told stories about his time in the Army. He went through the Army language school to learn how to speak Russian. Said he spoke it with a Texas accent. My condolences to his family.
