After my long winded reply to Grumpy, I went over to the old neighborhood, Blogster to see what I could see.

They are much faster now, and I dug back in the old posts and found my first and second post. Here they are.

How many people will read this? How many people will really care? At age 56 and climbing, I have had a normal life for guys my age, or have I? Mistakes? Yeah, I have made more than a few, Good times? Yeah some of those too. But, one event in my life keeps popping into my head just about any time and any where. Vietnam. My time in Vietnam 1969 to 1970. Let the story begin.

Lets back the clock up to 1967. Thats when I met my soon to be wife. We were married Aug. 8th 1968, got a nice little 1 bedroom apt. and thought we would start to build our life togeather. We worked, got a nice new 1968 Chevy Malibu, red black interior, and things were looking good. Then one day, April 1st 1969 to be exact I was on my way to the store to buy milk, when I checked our mail, and Found, "THE LETTER!". Now unless you were a youngster in the 60''s you have never seen one of them, but it started out, "Greetings". The rest told of how your life was about to change. I took it back up to the wife, and she cried.
To be continued.

April 2005. Not that long ago, almost four years. What was long was how long it took me to start writing the blog about my time in Vietnam. almost 35 years. Somethings are better kept buried, but somethings stay in the mind forever.
