Hi Don, Nice to hear from a classmate and Vietnam vet brother. I took the third year after I was told that I could attend any AIT of my choice, so I took the longest one I could find. 63H, wheel and track repair and recovery. I ended up driving a wrecker in convoys all over the Central Highlands and south and west of Saigon. I pretty much lived on my truck on an air mattress behind the cab. I saw a lot of interesting shit and totally enjoyed it. I was with the 4th Inf at Pleiku and the Highlands, 48th Trans Bn in the south and finally the 17th Air Cav. Still healthy and enjoying life and retirement.

Happy birthday Diane. Have a great day.
I am so sad to learn of Paul’s passing. Paul and I knew each other casually in high school and we didn’t really connect until a few years ago when Paul privately contacted me to talk about our experiences in VietNam. Paul was conflicted about his feelings, and all I could tell him was that he saved lives instead of taking them and in war, that is an honorable profession. Rest in peace my brother.
I hope you are having a great birthday!
