Pighumper and I were at the dedication in 1982. I have been there numerous times....the last, will probably be my last. Healing for years, too painful now.

John, what a good perspective. I think for many years I've done what I've done for Veterans and Active Duty people as a tribute to those men and women and the men I knew. I could be in private practice raking in $85-95 bucks a hour, but instead, for much less, stayed where I was. As my retirement is looming, I now know I can look them all in the eye and said I did my best. Man, 25 years already.
