re: #104 jwb7605

I replied to your first question yesterday, after I’d watched the football game.
I didn’t really know anybody in 212 — their line shack was separate. I “knew” a couple of guys by their faces, but that was about it. Once I made E-5, I was (by rule) placed in the AQ shack (my final cruise).

I may have had an adult beverage with several of them on liberty, but you know how that goes.

Speaking of football games, did you catch the hit late in the Steelers-Raven game? I haven’t heard anything about injuries, but wow, what a (clean!) hit. Cardinals have no chance, in my opinion.

Yeah, I saw your football-delayed response. If you didn’t know any of them by name, then my question’s moot. I’d remembered that this fellow (who visited me several years later) had told me of the F-8 crash. Said the engine would up in the port side-forward gun sponson.

Re the late hit, no. I haven’t followed football since the Cowboys canned Landry.
