HAHA - nope but he wasn’t long gone. I was drafted when that wall went up in Berlin. There was chrome plated jeep at the museum at Ft. Myer which was supposedly Gen. Patton’s parade jeep. Some poor grunt had to Bassso that jeep.

Excellent. You were drafted and served in the Old Guard? Did you stay for just two years?

I was trained as a tank crewman but stayed out of the beasts. I served in a tank battalion and my first job was as a driver for the Bn. Commo Officer. When I arrived in Munich in Feb 62, the draftees were serving out a six month extension, thanks to JFK and the Berlin Crisis.
