Irvin Dunlap signed in to the 601st as Administrative Officer on or about January 31, 1958 and served in that position until rotating back to the States on July 4, 1960. Shortly thereafter he left active duty for civilian life and a career as a high school English teacher.

"My two and a half years at the 601st were among the best years of my life."

The above statement has been made over and over by former 601st members.

Irvin's comment:
Erika was an excellent secretary.  She spoke faultless English (completely without a German or British accent).  Everyone who met her, but didn't know her background, thought she was an American; but they couldn't quite get a fix on "what part of the country she was from."
 

Webmaster's comment:
I admired and appreciated Erika's professional and personal demeanor. She ably assisted me in resolving a problem I once had in Kassel.

He always had a sympathetic ear.
