Rocky,

 

I think you must be lying to us about your age. You look a LOT younger than you say you are! WOW!! You put a lot of 20 & 30 year olds to shame.

 

I ditto Vee - now THAT'S a HANDSOME fellow! :theman:

Watson;; looking at your pic. I think I remember you. So damn long ago

the mind just doesn't function to good. But you do remember Ken Ryan,

Sgt. Brewer. Was it Lt. Anderson that was killed by a mortar round that

hit near his foxhole? There is a pic. above ofa fellow that lost an eye

at the Rapido river.Wonder what Company he was in. Sez he was in the

34th. I remember the combat engineers probing for mines there.

Haven't e/mailed you in a while, all OK? I have been staying close inside

since the wife passed away, it now has been a little over 2 years.

Ketch me later dude !!! Rocky ---- :readingpaper:
