You have really caused me to drag out some memories. I served in the Marine Corps right after the Korean War and got out in 1959. I went to work for Martin Marietta here in Denver (now Lockheed-Martin). I met Lt. Col. Vann and had the occasion to work some projects with him.

We all thought he was a hot-dog. He was so gung ho over the war that he finally went back into uniform and headed back to Nam. He was killed very shortly after that. I'm sorry to learn that your uncle was with him.

My earliest memories (of war) was WWII. I thought all the Piper Cubs that occasionally flew over our house in the country were bombers and were looking for someone to drop those bombs on. I always hid from them.

Whole lotta love, baby!!! Was a big Zep fan in the 70's...Page is God(like)!! You born in '62 like me? Turned 40 this year...

Still, I vaguely remember the King assassination, and the Vietnam protest meetings my parents held in our home. But for the most part that era is a foreign world to me. Blame a beachside California upbringing for that...and WAY too many drugs in high school.

Fortunately, both drugs and Zepplin were abandoned in my University years for much better things!! (like God, jazz, Bach...and eventually the stock market).

Trips down memory lane (a much pot-holed lane at that)...TC
