Hey Carl,
1st: The only Mr. Beckhorn I've ever known was my Dad, and he left us a long time ago. He was a WW II pacific Jarhead combat guy. Took me goin to Vietnam to finally understand him and become friends before he passed, that was the best thing I got out of combat! I was always Lynn, or "Droopy" to my crews, peter pilots, and superior officers, unless some dipsh-t outsider was watchin. What a great company we were lucky to be involved with!! I'm sure we must have partied once or twice together even if you were one of the blue guys - ever walk the perimeter road or have a safety meeting in the old tower? ;>)

2nd: I'm sure Shelton is in one of the pics and I'm pretty sure that is Radermaker looking down at me in the 122 hole in Dak To runway.

3rd: As for the stash, remember when the new CO put all the officers and warrents in formation and made us shave? Had to be clean shaven unless you had hair on your ID card. Well, I was the class 6 officer (kept care of the booze store), after shaving I grease penciled a handlebar, took a polaroid and a bottle of Crown Royal up to batallion an Voila, I had a new ID card with hair on it. It even worked in the states when I was instructing in Texas, just had to keep it waxed up above my lip. When I got out in Feb. 70, all I had to do was remove the wax and I almost fit in. ;>)

Anyway, thanks for the memories, "It's all good" As for the Miata, my wife got a new one and got pissed every time I wanted to drive it, so I got me an old one, 93, and tricked it out. Great car, last of the real live sports cars. Anyone who calls it a fag car has never driven one. ;>)))

Sorry guys, shoulda taken this back channel but most of it applied to most of you I hope.

Cheers,,,,,,,,,,, Lynn
