Hi Andy

I remember when you use to post on THC. Happy to see you doing a little better and may God bless you .
I always did a lot of traveling and always carried my St Christopher medal wherever I went. Was also told St Christopher was also the Patron Saint for Sailors and people who did a lot of traveling.

The 6ft 120lb me needed the sand bags back in 68 but your probably right about me now at 5ft 11in 205lb being over kill. I wish I could go back on that c-ration diet.

We all do buddy! We all do! Only place on earth where you could eat 10,000 calories a day.....and lose weight. Of course, that's when you could get enough to eat....which wasn't often. Isn't getting old (er) fun!

Not so sure that it was a superstition. It was just a simple "Cover me God" as I was standing at the bottom of the ladder going to the top of the tower and He did.

All them sand bags...Under the seat, the floor board, stack so high across the windshield it looked like a bunker going down the road.
