Yesterday evening despite bad connections I was able to talk to Dan one of my close Army Buddies after about 45 years. If it had not been for Lori's sleuthing skills this conversation would not have taken place. It is amazing that after 45 years reconnecting was easy. We were able to exchange information about each other, i.e. marriage, he has two sons and was really amazing still drives the VW bug we rode together visiting the beaches of Normandy and the country sides of the Netherlands in 1965 listening to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones on Radio Luxemburg. Where did the years go! Anyway we hope to get together on June 27 and 28th. Stay tuned, Dan was a crack Army photographer and he promised me some surprised from the past.
I knew that "pigs could fly", but what about dogs soaring? Yes, that is Rennie in a Gondola high about the tree tops looking alertly about. He is without fear and just followed me. He loves the beach and would just stay all day long and play in the black sand.
I hope my reply to Carol with a John Steinbeck quote appeared somewhere in this blog. I also appreciate every comment they sustain me in a big way, letting me know that I am connected to you.
