Dale Dougal... Sgt. Ratazak (NCOIC) Dale Dougal was a mechanic who kept our generators maintained and running. He worked with Dick Hayes who was also a mechanic. Sgt. Ratazak was a big man with a rough and tough appearance, which belied his quite demeanor. The time I spent with him was limited, but I found him to be the type of person you like to have in charge. Sergeants are the backbone of the American Army. Ratazak was one of those.
