Good evening, Kathy...spent several long - long TDY assignments there.

Maddi and I had a good Day. Interested to hear from her Mom tomorrow, as this was to be Maddi’s first Day of Gymnastics.

Yes, I went through it last night. Some of those songs were a wee bit “before my time”. I started REALLY listening to Rock and Roll at the very end of 1963.

Not a very good photo but it does show how a pontoon bridge is constructed.

I spent Christmas of 1977, 1978, and 1979 at Ft. Campbell at the veterinary unit there. I was a S/Sgt. 91 R,S, and T. Since it was during the holidays I usually had one of the old barracks all to myself. Usually was very quiet but one Christmas they sent a platoon of women from Ft. Bragg there and they had to put them up in my barracks. The Ft. Braggettes were very noisy and partied quite a bit. I huddled in the corner and behaved.
