Where it went? (Page 1/1) maryjane JUN 06, 08:58 AM 52 years ago today, I landed at a nearly brand new Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston Tx, after 72 hrs earlier, hearing a voice on a different aircraft announce "Ladies and gentlemen, we have cleared Republic of Vietnam airspace." Where did the decades go? williegoat JUN 06, 09:36 AM That had to be a strange, but good feeling. What was the first thing you planned to do and the first thing you actually did? (considering this is a family forum, of course) maryjane JUN 06, 10:12 AM On both accounts, Slept in a good bed, with a real mattress. Then got up and had a nice steak with coffee in a porcelain cup that would break if ya dropped it instead of clangin around like a horse shoe on a concrete floor.

I, and most of my friends, were a bit young for the festivities. He came back unscathed, at least physically. But (justifiably) had a hell of an attitude for a bit.
