What The Fork
Urban Art in California
From Facebook Page
Bill Moore I saw a news feature item about the "fork in the road" impromptu art in Carlsbad -- is that in YOUR neck of the woods?
- Linda Civitello likes this.
- Taffy Cannon I swore I responded to this this morning. It's in our town, though not precisely within walking distance.
- Taffy Cannon Levante, I think. The piece itself was taken down within 24 hours. Then the perp put up a sign that asked "What the fork happened?"
- Melissa Kamenjarin Hahaha. I had to look that street up. Someone was bringing a little culture to La Costa, I see.

I went into the Navy in 1967 to Squadron VP-31 anti-submarine hunters. I was stationed in Moffet field Ca.for about 1-1/2 yrs training then deployed to the Philippines, (Subic Bay) from there I went to Vietnam and we flew missions all over taking pictures for the bombers... I was now in VP-46,and was a 3rd class aviation machinist mate who worked on the jet engines,and was aft observer in this 4 engine plane with no glide path at all..... It could fly on 1 engine if it was inboard.... other than that nothing out of the ordinary, fell off the roof during a mortar attack,landed on a guy with a 45 in his hand,he broke the fall nicely.but he almost shot me....I spent the end of my Navy air days in Guam,counting my days to discharge by learning how to ride a uni-cycle,that damn near killed me..... Not real exciting but I made it back to home....all 170 Pd' s of me.
Thanks

John E. Pagel, 101st Airborne
My name is John E. Pagel 2nd, graduated January 1963 class. Graduated the 24th of January and entered the ARMY on the 29th. Took basic at Fort Knox KY, Advanced Infantry Training at Fort Jackson SC, and Jump School at Fort Benning GA.
Then assigned to 101st AIRBORNE Division at Fort Campbell KY. Was there from July 22nd 1963 till July of 1965 when I was deployed to Vietnam as a rifleman with the first boat load of 101st which landed there July 29th. 1965. Attaching a scan of my DD-214 and a photo of me taken in September of 1964 before my 14th parachute jump at Campbell. Funny was never on a plane until my first jump in Jump School, didn't land with a plane until after my 7th.
Best regards,
John Pagel
