Tom,

During my tour I kept a diary or journal. Each day I would write down what I did and what happened. I kept in my flight bag and would do this after I completed my post-flight. I thought if anything happened to me my mom would have something that would help her understand what was going on. I didn't tell my parents that I was flying or any other stuff. All they knew was I worked on helicopters.

Some days I only wrote a couple lines other days several pages. When I got home I put everything in the basement and there it sat for thirty plus years. After I started playing with the computer and found sites like this I decided one day to go thru that old duffle bag. It took a few months to go thru and read about that time. Several times I had to stop but I kept at it and finally was able to finish what I started. It was one of the best things I did. Some other things which bothered me was somehow cleared up and I know have a better understanding about my tour. The human mind is a funny thing. It only remembers what it wants to and sometimes you have to jump start it to get the whole picture.

If you run into trouble just jump on line and your friends are here to help. I wouldn't loan them any money but I sure would take their advice.
