Oh Frank, don't know if you realize it, but Todd's grandfather was an officer in my dad's unit. That is how we met. Pretty neat, huh?

 

Good to hear from you again. Sorry I didn't answer sooner, but have been very sick with the flu. Getting better each day, and slowly answering emails and posts.

 

Love the photo. It's so clear and yes it's interesting to note that they are wearing the inflatable belts. Damn good idea, since they had to deal with so many cold, swift river crossings and many lost their lifes by drowning. So sad.
