It's a shame that exposure to Nam chemicals is making my best friend sick. I hope that this can be controlled and alleviated with modern medicine. Cardinal Deardon crossed paths with our family again. My sister Mary cleaned his teeth for years before she became a periodontist. I hope that metal was passed and is still passed today. The best of the best wore it. --Jim O'Hara.

Th...Hi,<br />I just went to your site...really nice Kim.<br />Thanks for the kind words and posting my story.<br />That is NOT my grandfather..probably the current caretaker.<br /><br />I was up to the club about 7 or 8 yrs. ago.<br /><br />They painted the lodge with that hideous stain (paint?) which was done at least 10-15 yrs. after my grandfather's death.<br /><br />The Amtrac you posted is the same type I was a crew chief on.<br /><br />The gov. sold those old units to the Dutch Marines as the new models had just arrived in Nam (1969).<br /><br />Those so called NEW Amtracs are the ones presently being used in Iraq today.<br /><br />Do the math..those kids are driving equipment more than twice their age.<br />WTF?<br /><br />Here's another fact.<br />"C rations" have a date stamped on them. In 1969 I was eating "C Rats" dated in 1945.<br /><br />They were still good too....except for the beans and franks..LOL.<br /><br />C-ya,<br />Jim :-)Jim Rhttp://www.myspace.com/jimrandolph25?TemplateId=2595&lnkkey=Link1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856333241837525662.post-33808156917603665412009-04-20T23:35:00.000-04:002009-04-20T23:35:00.000-04:00Nice story enjoyed itNice story enjoyed itBettynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856333241837525662.post-57506059776291372022009-04-17T23:22:00.000-04:002009-04-17T23:22:00.000-04:00Thank you Jim for the guest post.
