I was young and green but the man seated next to me on the "Willie" was kind and helpful and guided me through all the procedures and answered all my questions and remained calm for the entire thirteen hour trip. Since that day, a little over 48 years ago, we have remained friends. It was great to get to spend some time with him today.
He retired many years ago and has been traveling about in an RV yet he makes time to stop near me every year, most years, so we can share a day together. I think this is our first visit together in which we didn't talk about our military service or Vietnam. It made it more special that more than shared times during a war bonded us together.
