- What the hell is going on?
- The day I was sworn in, January 1962, it snowed so heavy you couldn't see the road and the base where I was being sworn in was thirty miles away. I had to be there at 0900 so I left home at 0700.

The entire front of the Beetle was crushed and …

"There …

Back in 1972 (old corps)as a Huey pilot with HML-267 I had occasion to transport a general to MCRD. We landed at San Diego Linberg field where the Gen. Was met by a staff car and we settled in to wait. We were about a half mile from the fence and could hear a resounding "thump"coming from the depot. We walked over to the control tower, and from the cab …
