Congrats
to both of you. Being one who was "associated" with another part of the "Brown Water Navy" (the MRF in the Mekong Delta) I can speak with some authority on MUCH and how WELL folks like Beau did their "job" while serving their country. A well deserved honor for an articulate contributor around here.
Shirley---I feel I've already met you simply by having met yo hubby Fred! ANYONE that could "hang" together with that "wild man of the mountains" must be a true American hero! Just kidding! Fred's a great guy and I STILL ain't figured out how he could have held onto a great woman for that long.
Congratulations to each of you,
