Funny Stuff
Have you ever received an email with a link to something funny? If you answered "No" to that then I'm pretty sure that just today you set up your first computer with an Internet connection! This is a collection of stuff that just makes me smile. It may or may not have anything to do with Okinawa but, hey, that's who I am and it's what I do, okay?
I had a great time with the guys and gals of the 9th AVRS. In September, 2010 we met in Nashville for their annual reunion.
Sincere thanks, guys, for inviting me to attend.
Patriotic Stuff
Every now and then I come across something that I think is either worthy of sharing or I just don't want to lose track of. In this page there is a variety of photos and/or links that just make me feel good about being an American.

Maki Youth Center's Last Day
I had the great pleasure of meeting for lunch with Alan Clutter (see MailBag, page 10) in August, 07. We had corresponded a few times and he happened to be in town, so we planned to meet and had a very pleasant visit.
Hey, Alan! I hope it was as good for you as it was for me - to shake hands, share a meal and talk about the old days, that is. If I'm ever in Kankekee, Illinois I'll look you up and return your kindness!
