We're glad that you got to see your old friends.
But better, that you got back safe to your family.
How is your daughter?
I still have the photo of your daughter with the wooden reindeer.
Well so much for now. . .
Sending our best for you and your family in 2008.

Semper Fidelis
Ricardo

: Got back home to Sweden by late this very

: NE-ern CA, up in the Sierra Nevada
: Foothills. Visited a very dear friend,
: USARMY Viet Nam Veteran, for the 4th time
: since 2001. This time, as during my 1st
: visit, I however travelled over alone
: without my wife and daughter with me. This
: however gave me more time to talk more
: service-related talk with Vic. Not something
: we do as much of, when our wifes are around
: us of course, as subjects talked about then
: tends to be more non-military to its nature.

: It was Good to see Vic and his closest
: friend "Big Nick" again. "Big
: Nick" is called so, for obvious
: reasons. Large enough to scare a grizzly
: away... Big Nick served in USMC Force Recon,
: and was with 9th MEB in March 1965. Later
: on, when photographs have been developed, I
: will put them in photosite so you can view
: them also.
