=======================
Kenneth Cordier retired from the United States Air Force as a Colonel. He
and his wife Barbie reside in Dallas.
In collecting information for another project, Ken noted he was held in
heartbreak (Hanoi Hilton), Zoo, Zoo Annex, Hope, Unity (Hanoi Hilton) and
Dogpatch "in that order." He has since returned to his possible shootdown
sites, (believed to be just E/NE of Yen Bai) but none turned out to be the
actual site.
