Lew's Logbook: Viet Nam Reunion

(Lew still likes wearing sunglasses. Enjoy his post! ~ Tracy)

Blast from the past.

I have been communicating with a friend of mine who I served with in Viet Nam over 47 years ago. We were both medics in the 1st Infantry Division. We have seen each other a couple of times since then, but that was 40 years ago.

Tuesday night he called me to ask if we could meet for breakfast. He lives in Patten, Maine, but was in Standish visiting family.

We got together at IHOP on Wednesday morning and talked for over two hours. As we left, we talked about getting together again soon and including our wives the next time. I really hope that we make that happen.

It was REALLY good to see him after all these years.

Below is a picture of us taken in Viet Nam, 1970.
