Charles | Quite often I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I didn't even
tell you about all the jails in was in for being drunk. Or how I joined
AA in 1972 and have been dry since.
Also, I just edited my "bio". I uploaded pic's of me and Edna Mae taken in
December 1955 and in December 2005. Fifty years does make a
difference.

Country: | Charles, you just put a smile on a face that has been rather ugly lately. Great stuff! Of course those are two very unique ways of getting rid of an ulcer!

stuff, except one time me and the ROK's had to clear an area for a bunch
of rangers/seals to set down. After they got down we were told to go
out the same way we came in. Our presence was neither required or
desired.
I never did anything special. Like I said, I was often in the wrong place
at the wrong time. I often think...... it could have been a hell of a lot
worse. It is I who should be honored to call you Shipmate. At least I
can talk about the crap I've seen and done.

Your an amazing man Charles with a heck of a life story. God willing, there will be many, many, more years of stories to collect.
